Gary Neville thinks Arsenal will win the Premier League this year, but the absence of one man could make all the difference.
The Gunners maintained their strong start to the season with their victory over Sheffield United yesterday. The Blades, who are at the bottom with one point, were destroyed by them with five.
Naturally, Arsenal keeps going, and their recent acquisitions are having a significant impact.
However, Neville said on Sky Sports that the Manchester team would lose the title if Declan Rice were to be moved from the Arsenal team and placed in City’s starting lineup.
Declan Rice asserts his claim in relation to the title race with Gary Neville.
This week, during Friday night football on Sky Sports, Neville was questioned regarding Rice and the fight for the championship.
Neville also acknowledged that Rice is currently Arsenal’s main player.
Most likely. Declan Rice, I believe he has a significant impact. That force, that motivation. Still, they have excellent players in City. But if he were to leave Arsenal, things would be very different; they wouldn’t be competitive enough, Neville stated.
“He can make a difference and gives them a genuine opportunity when he’s in it. This season, I think Arsenal will do better than City and that City may stumble a little.
Ever since signing in the summer, Rice has excelled. The importance of the England player has increased after Thomas Partey also sustained an injury.
Arsenal’s heavy expenditure will seem like a vindication.
When Declan Rice was acquired by Arsenal in the summer for more than £100 million, the public was shocked. It was a costly purchase that required success.
Well, it’s going great so far, boy.
Arsenal’s midfield was merely mediocre, but thanks to the “terrific” Rice, it is now among the finest in Europe.
The England midfielder appeared to have improved with the Gunners after doing so well with West Ham. He was outstanding this past weekend as well.
He now enters the Man City side, despite the fact that they are incredibly talented. That is his current level of excellence.
