Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has urged Arsenal and Liverpool to seize the opportunity presented by Manchester City’s struggles this season, according to Arsenal Insider.
City’s hopes of achieving a historic fifth consecutive Premier League title suffered another major setback on Saturday with a crushing 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool now have the chance to extend their lead over Pep Guardiola’s side to eight points if they secure a win against Southampton on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have moved to within a single point of City following their emphatic 3-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Gary Neville emphasized the importance of both Arsenal and Liverpool capitalizing on City’s slump.
“If you’re Arsenal or Liverpool, you must feel there’s no excuses now,” Neville remarked. He further stressed Arsenal’s unique position, adding, “I’m looking more at Arsenal with that statement. This was Arsenal’s season if it wasn’t going to be City’s.”

For Arsenal and Liverpool, the message is clear: take advantage of City’s uncharacteristic struggles or risk missing out on a golden opportunity to dethrone the champions.
