Gary Neville has explained why Arsenal's recent collapse could be a boost to Mikel Arteta ahead of their decisive clash in the title race against Manchester City. The Gunners sit five points clear of City following their late rally against Southampton where Bukayo Saka's goal saw them salvage a draw.
Pep Guardiola's men being in FA Cup action now means the reigning champions have two games in hand over the Gunners, with the two title rivals facing off at Etihad Stadium next Wednesday. After dropping points in their last three games, Arteta and his players must leave Manchester with three points if they wish to regain the advantage.
Following their 3-3 draw against Southampton, Neville explained why Arsenal's recent struggles could benefit them in a game where they are clearly not the favourites. "I think it’s the one game they’ve got left in the run-in where they’re not expected to win," he said on Sky Sports.
