“I’ve got to double down” – Gary Neville makes early prediction as he picks Premier League winners for next season

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has claimed that Arsenal will win their first Premier League title since 2004 in the upcoming campaign.

The north London outfit have emerged as a title challenging team under Mikel Arteta over the last three campaigns. They have finished in second spot three consecutive times, finishing on 84 points, 89 points, and lastly 74 points in the 2024-25 season.

During a recent interaction on The Overlap, Neville was asked to provide his 2025-26 Premier League predictions. The ex-Manchester United full-back replied (h/t Metro):

Arsenal, who finished 10 points behind champions Liverpool past season, are believed to be in the process of rejuvenating their squad. They could opt to sign a new striker with Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi reportedly close to joining.

Former Wycombe Wanderers striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has suggested that the Gunners should have not let Chelsea close in on Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap. He said on talkSPORT (h/t Metro):

Backing Delap to continue to shine in the Premier League, he added:

Delap, 22, has allegedly passed his medical prior to his £30 million move from his current club to the Enzo Maresca-coached outfit this summer.

The Manchester City academy product scored 12 goals and laid out two assists in 37 Premier League appearances for Ipswich last campaign.
