Former Premier League player Gary Neville has shared his predictions for the upcoming season. In a surprising turn of events, he believes that Chelsea will beat both Liverpool and Tottenham to secure a spot in the top-four. However, his prediction changed after watching Tottenham's recent draw against Leicester City.
Neville, who played for Manchester United, initially thought that Tottenham would finish in the top-four. But after seeing their performance against Leicester, he now believes that Chelsea has a stronger squad and could potentially take Tottenham's spot. He also mentioned that he hopes Tottenham will still do well because they play attractive football.
The former footballer also discussed Arsenal and Manchester City's chances of winning the title. He reiterated his belief that Arsenal will end City's winning streak, but his top-four prediction raised some eyebrows as he included Manchester United and Chelsea, snubbing Liverpool and Tottenham.
Neville explained his reasoning behind his prediction, saying that Liverpool may struggle without their former manager Jurgen Klopp. He believes that history has shown that a change in management can have a negative impact on a team's performance. He also pointed out that Chelsea could potentially face problems due to their transfer policy.
The three clubs in question have had a mixed start to the season, with Tottenham drawing against Leicester, Liverpool winning against Ipswich Town, and Chelsea losing to City. Neville had previously criticized Chelsea's transfer policy, and his fellow pundit Jamie Carragher was surprised by his predictions.
Carragher, who played for Liverpool, has a different top-four prediction, with City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham making the cut. In fact, he doesn't even have Chelsea in his top-six. It remains to be seen which of the two former players' predictions will come true, but it's clear that the Premier League season will be an exciting one.
