‘I said a few weeks ago’: Gary Neville thinks he’s been proven right over his Arsenal and Tottenham prediction

Tottenham have swung the race with Arsenal for the top four right back in their favour in the last few games by smashing in the goals and picking up points while the Gunners fail.

The last two weeks have seen a momentus turnaround in the race for Champions league football. Spurs have fired in nine goals in two games and picked up two wins. Arsenal, meanwhile, have lost twice on the spin to mid-table teams and picked up injuries to key players along the way.

Tottenham now look like firm favourites to land fourth spot. And speaking yesterday after Man City drew 2-2 with Liverpool, Gary Neville believes his prediction about Arsenal is now coming true.

“I said a few weeks ago I didn’t trust Arsenal fully and the reason behind that was that I thought they need to go through a run-in where they could prove they were favourites for top four,” Neville said on Sky.

“And those doubts have started to come to the fore. I have to say Tottenham are just getting there because they’ve had a bit of experience of getting there. And through Manchester United and Arsenal’s woes. You’re almost thinking you might as well go and take the Champions League place, Tottenham.”

Obviously, things might chance in the next few weeks because things can happen in football. But Tottenham look in such good form that Arsenal appear to have a mountain to climb now.

Antonio Conte has got his team right where he wants it and in Kane and Son, they have the two world class players that Arsenal lack in the final third. Ultimately, that could be what separates the two sides.

Neville is right about Arsenal, though. He did call it and when the going has got tough, they’ve not been able to come out with the points.
