Manchester United legend Gary Neville insists he still hopes Manchester City will run away with the Premier League title this season despite Arsenal currently sitting top of the table.
The Gunners have exceeded all expectations so far this season and hold a surprising two-point lead at the top of the table, although many fans and pundits still see Man City as the clear favorites to go on and win the league.

“We have 25 games left in the season, with the massive interruption of the World Cup, but I see Arsenal in the top four this season,” Neville said.
