Gary Neville continues to be impressed by Arsenal’s exceptional start to the season, particularly following their remarkable victory against Manchester United yesterday. He believes that Arsenal, with their strong performance, has a legitimate shot at winning the Premier League.
Arsenal’s status as one of the top clubs in the country has been maintained, and their astute summer recruitment efforts have bolstered their squad. Their early-season performances have fueled optimism among fans that they can challenge Manchester City for the league title once again.
Neville has made a bold prediction, suggesting that this could be the season when Arsenal finally clinches the Premier League championship.
The ex-Manchester United defender said, as quoted Sports Joe:
“I’ve tipped Arsenal to win the title this season, which is a long shot. Manchester City are outstanding and everybody would point towards them. But it’s in these moments that you find out about a team, even though it’s very early in the season and City have been absolutely flawless so far.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have started this season well and understand why Neville thinks we could be champions, but we have to be sure we stay focused and not let predictions get to our heads when it is positive.
This is just the start of the season and what we need now is to stay focused and win as many matches as possible.

The season is still young but arsenal has to take one game at a time and maintain the winning stretch without dropping points then they can have a shot at it
Arteta most stop playing Kai Havertz time around. and try to give Viera a chance instead.
I don’t see us winning the PL title, sorry.
Manchester City are not looking like a team that’s ready to surrender the title any time soon. And Liverpool are looking ominously good.
Based on early signs, we can just expect to come behind those two.
But, like the saying goes, anything can happen in football.
All of a sudden Vieira is touted as being picked when 2 weeks ago he was being pilloried as Havertz is now, fickle or what?
Hehehe! That’s mostly from fans who do not know how Mikel does things.i’ve noticed they view things just plainly which is far from it in this new Arsenal.
City look unstoppable right now, but it’s early days. Far too early to tell.
Watch out for Arteta unlocking stuffs in the brains of Havertz, Partey, and Declan.
He is turning them into SLALOM MIDFIELDERS: who can play anywhere thru the middle from CB to CF in the mould of Patrick Viera, Yaya Toure and Abou Diaby.
Against Man United, the substitutions were like for like, Arteta stuck to his philosophy.
If Havertz had been instructed to drop deeper with Magalhaes to both shield the left of the defense,
thereby allowing Zinchenko to control the game in more advance areas, Arsenal would still have won.
But Arteta decided to change personels for fresh legs to bombard exhausted ManU players, it did paid off!
Nelson for Martinelli.
Jesus for Eddie.
Vieira for Zinchenko.
Tomiyasu for Havertz.
England and Europe should get ready, because this Arsenal Squad will give a great fight henceforth, they will compete.
Sweepers – Ramsdale, Raya, Hein
Drivers – Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Eddie, Nelson
Occupyers – Saliba, White, Tomiyasu, Partey, Declan, Havertz, Kiwior, Magalhaes
Controllers – Timbre, Odegaard, Zincheko, Vieira, Trossard, Emile, Jorginho, Elneny
Mikel Arteta deserves all the backing.
Arteta-ball is a masterful footballing gameplan.
If you get him the right players for his tactics and team-shape, he will win a lot of matches for Arsenal.
Nothing to worry about Havertz! This Havertz that I am seeing will definitely become an Arsenal Legend.
Havertz will shine, reign, and rule in England and Europe… He is a great call for Arsenal and Arteta.
Great days are back at Arsenal…. get ready England, get ready Europe!
Of a truth, Havertz is not in the lineup to score goals!
Judging Havertz based on goals is unfair! He is doing everything right except missing goal scoring chances.
Nothing is wrong with Havertz, he is only short on confidence at the moment, that guy will win Arsenal fans over.
May be he should play slightly deeper for people to see more and more and more of his great works in the middle of the park!
Havertz best role is playing at Odegaard position.
Odegaard and Havertz is a super great midfield duo with either Partey or Declan defending behind them.
If Haverts must deliver in a double 8 position, then his fullback has to be an occupyer /container and not a controller/playmaker
Haverts playing on the left of the 8’s means either a Tomiyasu, White, Partey, or Kiwior should be playing leftback not Timbre, nor Zinchenko.
These are the little details Arteta has to fix in the lineup.
Declan Rice and Arsenal FC are a match made in heaven. Oh Declan, Declan Rice!
The price was almost discouraging, but Rice is worth a Jude Bellingham fee.
First of all Arsenal, Edu, and Arteta deserves all the credit for buying him.
He is a great need given Partey’s injury record.
Gabriel Magalhaes is such a hell of a defender!
Arteta is wanting to get more from him by challenging him to improve his ball trapping and passing. Arteta wants him to be a ball playing defender more, and more and more. He has to be that comfortable on the ball !
Take your time Timbre. Wish you good recovery man!
Prime Odegaard is a perfect embodiment of Arteta’s definition of a CONTROLLER, a PLAYMAKER.
Great engine, Captain fanstatic!
Great times ahead, COYG!!!!!!!!
