Former France defender, Bacary Sagna has hit back at Gary Neville after the Manchester United legend predicted that Arsenal would finish third in the Premier League.
The Gunners have now opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table following their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City’s 2-1 loss at Old Trafford.
Speaking after Arsenal’s win at Spurs, Neville predicted they would slip behind City and United before the end of the season.
When asked about Neville’s stance, Sagna told FindMyCasino: “That’s his opinion.
“I don’t see United finishing in front of Arsenal. They have improved, but Arsenal are better and have been the best team all season – Pep Guardiola will agree with that! He’s been saying they are difficult to catch, and they will be.
“This weekend Arsenal have an important game and again they will have to show that they’re strong but I’m not worried about that.”
