In a bold and controversial prediction, football pundit Gary Neville has declared that Liverpool have “no chance” of defending their Premier League crown next season – putting his full faith in Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to rise to the top.
🗣️ Neville’s exact words:
> “Liverpool won it last season, yes. But I don’t see it happening again. Not with the changes, not with the inconsistency. Arsenal are the team to beat this time.”
🔥 Why This Shocks Fans:
Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, stormed to the 2024/25 title with four games to spare.
Neville’s dismissal of their chances comes despite the Reds reportedly making blockbuster signings like Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
He believes Arsenal’s depth, experience, and hunger following back-to-back near-misses will now carry them over the line.
⚔️ The Rivalry Intensifies
Liverpool fans are outraged by Neville’s declaration, calling it “typical anti-Anfield bias.” But Arsenal supporters are celebrating the endorsement as a sign that “this is their year.”
📊 The Stage Is Set:
Can Slot prove the doubters wrong and deliver back-to-back titles for the first time since the 1980s?
Or will Arteta finally take the crown that has slipped from his grasp twice?
👀 Let the battle begin. The 2025/26 sea
son is already heating up.
