Gary Neville has predicted Arsenal will win the Premier League title for the 2025/26 season, sticking with the Gunners despite three consecutive second-place finishes. The former Manchester United defender made the claim on the It's Called Soccer podcast, doubling down on his previous endorsements.
Arsenal finished ten points behind Liverpool last season, with injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus exposing a lack of a natural goalscorer. They also lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals.
The club, now with sporting director Andrea Berta, is planning a significant summer window. Midfielder Martin Zubimendi is set to arrive for £51million, while strikers Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are being considered. Neville believes these additions could propel Arsenal to their first league title since 2003/04.
Speaking on the podcast, Neville said: 'I've got to go Arsenal again. I've got to double down, haven't I? I backed them the last two seasons and I'm going to stick with them.'
Neville had also chosen Arsenal before the 2024/25 season, citing their upward trajectory and stability under Mikel Arteta. Despite Liverpool winning the title against odds of 5.1 per cent from Opta, Neville remains confident in Arsenal's progress.
