Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville believes Arsenal will not let their opportunity to become English football champions slip away. Yesterday, the Londoners secured a 1-0 victory against Burnley, extending their lead over Manchester City to five points. With just one more win against Crystal Palace, they will be crowned champions. Arsenal could even clinch the title today if Manchester City fails to defeat Bournemouth in their rescheduled Premier League fixture.

"Arsenal has built up momentum, inspiration, and huge expectations. All of this has been developing over the last five or six years," Neville stated on The Gary Neville Podcast. "Nothing has happened just this season. The team and the manager have been waiting for this moment for so long, and now everything is in their hands with only one match remaining. They've stumbled at the final hurdle two or three times before, and now we're all asking if they can cross the finish line first this time. If they don't, believe me, they'll be in big trouble. This is the moment that will define how we talk about this team. If Arteta becomes champion, it will change everything for him. Suddenly, their authority will skyrocket. They will prove they can beat Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, which is no small feat. Arsenal is on the home stretch, and I don't see how they'll let this chance slip."
