Gary Neville’s scarily accurate prediction about the Premier League title race re-emerges as Man City end the weekend on top after shock Liverpool and Arsenal defeats

A prediction about the Premier League title race made by Gary Neville last month could well prove to be eerily accurate as Manchester City hit the front entering the final stretch.

Speaking after City had beaten Manchester United 3-1 in the derby on March 3, Neville said on Sky Sports that Liverpool and Arsenal had to beat Pep Guardiola’s team to stand a chance.

A week later, City went to Anfield and came away with a 1-1 draw despite the best efforts of Jurgen Klopp’s men.

On March 31, Arsenal came to the Etihad Stadium and the title clash ended in a goalless draw.

Having failed to beat City, both Liverpool and Arsenal are now feeling the intense pressure of the title race.
