Gary Neville explains why Arsenal remain favourites to win the title

Gary Neville says Arsenal remain his favourites to win the Premier League title despite a hugely damaging recent run of results.

The Gunners have picked up just one point from a possible nine in the Premier League, to drop to fifth in the standings and fall seven points behind leaders Liverpool and five behind champions Manchester City.

In the previous two seasons, Arsenal have set the pace before crumbling in the final weeks as City claimed the league crown, but now face a new challenge of playing catch up - but Neville is sticking with his pre-season prediction that the Gunners will win the title.

Neville said: "There is an element of them feeling sorry for themselves because they've got a few injuries - come on! You can win the league title, become Arsenal legends! No one is interested in whether you've got a few injuries, those players will come back, don't wait for them.

"They've had some tough games, going to Newcastle is tough. But Arsenal at this moment, there are big questions being asked. But I don't rule them out of winning the title - I've still got them winning the title. This might be what they need. I might look stupid and people will play this back in months going, 'What the hell were you talking about?'

"I feel most connected to a title face and I think what does a team need. Man City aren't quite right, Liverpool aren't perfect and something you need this serious blip, it has been a poor start, but they could go on a run, get their players back and be very dangerous. Hit your form in March, April and May - that's when you really want to be flying."
