Gary Neville and Roy Keane played down the chances of Arsenal lifting the Premier League trophy in May despite the Gunners moving four points ahead of closest-rivals Manchester City on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta's side had to dig deep to hold onto a 1-0 lead against Leeds United and emerge victorious from Elland Road thanks to Bukayo Saka's first-half winner. The result means Arsenal have won nine of their 10 league games this season, and many fans are beginning to view them as legitimate candidates for the title.
City were unable to respond to the north Londoners later on Sunday, falling to a 1-0 defeat by Liverpool in which Mohamed Salah scored a sublime second-half goal. Pep Guardiola's defending champions are four points behind Arsenal as a result, but Manchester United legends Neville and Keane still predict they will retain their crown.
