Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has once again hit back at Arsenal fans regarding his Mikel Arteta prediction last season. Gunners supporters have taken aim at Neville a number of times this term after he continuously refused to change his Premier League title prediction, despite Arsenal's amazing form.
The ex-United defender admitted he thought Arteta would be sacked at the end of last season after the north Londoners missed out on a top four spot. The Gunners suffered defeats to Tottenham and Newcastle, handing their north London rivals a top four spot as Arsenal finished fifth with pressure mounting on the Spaniard.
The board stuck by Arteta and that decision has paid dividends this season as the Gunners now find themselves eight points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League title race with 10 games left to play. Injuries could still derail Arsenal's title charge with William Saliba still absent from training, although Thomas Partey's return after the international break has handed Arteta a huge boost ahead of the clash against Leeds this weekend.
