Sky Sports expert Gary Neville believes that Arsenal have improved significantly this season compared to last season.
If Manchester City win their three remaining Premier League games, Arsenal risk finishing second again, as they did a year ago.
However, Neville feels that the current Arsenal has still become a team of a different level than the one that stumbled at the end of last season.
“The Arsenal team has become much better than last season. Much stronger in spirit.”
“People will point to the return of William Salib, and that’s true, but it’s not just that.”
“Their defensive work shows concentration, discipline and attention to detail, and six consecutive clinches is a huge achievement in any season.”
“Somewhere they faltered a little – in the match against Villa and, of course, in the Champions League, but this happens.”
“They got back on the winning path and demonstrated that they have moved forward as a club, as a coaching team, as a group of players, and they have gone far from what they were last season,” Neville said in his podcast.
