Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher agree on Man City's Premier League title chances

Manchester City's rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have been given a strong warning by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.

The former Manchester United defender reckons despite the Blues currently being fifth, they're feeling pretty chirpy about their chances in the Premier League title fight. Arsenal are six points ahead right now - but don't forget, Pep Guardiola's team have got a game in hand.

Arsenal held onto their top spot after a 1-1 tie against Liverpool. It means followers of Mikel Arteta's side are buzzing as this is the second Christmas in a row there leading the table. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal boss, is crossing his fingers that his side can go all the way this time after coming second last season.

If Kevin De Bruyne comes back as well, he can be a difference maker."
