Mikel Arteta offers public response to Gary Neville's Arsenal Premier League title claim

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has responded to Gary Neville's comment about what Sir Alex Ferguson would tell Manchester United players. The Gunners face Southampton in the Premier League this evening and could move seven points clear at the top of the table before their huge title decider clash against Manchester City next Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's side will have two games in hand on Arsenal when they welcome them to Manchester as they are in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend. Following the 2-2 draw against West Ham, Neville offered some key advice to the north Londoners and referred back to what United legend Sir Alex Ferguson would tell his players.

“Sir Alex Ferguson always said ‘if you had to win one game to win the league would you take it?’ And the answer was always yes. [If] Arsenal win at the Etihad they’ll win the league,” Neville on his Sky Sports podcast.
