Gary Neville thinks the only chance Arsenal have of beating Man City to the Premier League title is if Kevin de Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Rodri pick up injuries.
The Citizens struck a big blow to the Gunners’ title chances by beating them 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Arsenal have led the Premier League for much of the season but, ahead of Man City’s match against Fulham on Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s men are now two points behind with two games in hand.
And speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the match, Neville fancies Man City to go on and win the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League treble this season.
Neville said on Sky Sports: “I agree with Jamie [Redknapp], it would be disappointing for them now, I think. Because when we [Manchester United] won the treble back in ’99 there was no evidence to suggest that we were better than the Arsenal team – because they’d won the league and the double the year before.

“And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that something happens.”
Fellow pundit Graeme Souness was impressed by Man City in their win over Arsenal and felt Guardiola’s men “embarrassed” Mikel Arteta’s side.
Souness added: “Man City I think in midweek showed they are true champions. They turned up and I can’t tell you in my time in football a game between first and second and a gap being so enormous.
“They really embarrassed Arsenal. If they’d won 7-0 the other night it wouldn’t have…
