It’s a blow for Arsenal, said Neville. They’re going to have days like that where they’re going to have to dig deep and show character.
But I think it’s going to be difficult for them to win the league this year. They’ll have to get through a lot of games like that one at Bournemouth without their best players. They’re not going to be able to do that all season long.
Despite City’s late win, Neville believes Liverpool remain in the title race but thinks it is still too early to make any definitive predictions.
Odegaard and Timber have been in and out, so you should still be able to cope with that. You can’t make excuses anymore.
Saliba will be a miss for Arsenal against Liverpool but they still have enough quality to cope. They have to find a way because you can’t use injuries as an excuse anymore. You have to deal with it, said Neville.
