Neville on Gunners late equaliser against City | Liverpool aren't even at their best, and they’re already five points clear!

Gary Neville reflects on Arsenal’s dramatic 1–1 draw with Manchester City at the Emirates. He praises Pep Guardiola’s unexpected defensive approach, deploying a 5-4-1 shape to nullify Arsenal’s set-piece threat and dominate aerially, while still striking through a classic counter-attack finished by Erling Haaland.

Neville questions Mikel Arteta’s risk-taking and attacking intent, saying that Arsenal’s conservative team selection and reliance on set pieces may hold them back from winning the Premier League.

And Neville also touches on Liverpool’s ominous form, Manchester United’s much-needed win over Chelsea, and Chelsea’s continued lack of cutting edge despite heavy investment.
