Gary Neville knew Arsenal would get "battered" by Man City after observation in tunnel

Gary Neville has revealed he thought Arsenal would get "battered" before the players even left the tunnel ahead of the Gunners' blockbuster trip to Manchester City on Wednesday.

Mikel Arteta's side travelled to Etihad Stadium in search of their first victory in four matches and it was a chance for the Gunners to renew some belief in their Premier League title push. However, City were by far the dominant side from the outset and showed why they have won four titles in the last five years.

And Neville feels Arsenal should have set up differently to try and counter their recent run of conceding goals.. He told The Overlap after the match: "I think coming to Manchester City in a game like this, I think it warranted potentially looking at the game differently. If you're conceding goals against Southampton, Bournemouth, and West Ham, you're definitely going to concede goals against Manchester City."
