EPL: Gary Neville predicts teams that will finish top four

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has slightly adjusted his Premier League predictions for the 2024/2025 season.

Initially, before the first round of fixtures, Neville had predicted Arsenal would finally claim the title after two decades, with Manchester City finishing as runners-up.

He had also backed Manchester United to secure third place and Tottenham Hotspur to finish fourth.

However, on Monday Night Football, Neville revised his predictions.

He now believes Chelsea will take fourth place, pushing Liverpool down to fifth.

Explaining his change of heart on Sky Sports after Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw at Leicester City, Neville said, “I wasn’t sure about Tottenham. I hope Tottenham finish fourth; I think they play good football. But what I would say is when the subs came on tonight, I thought that could be a problem for them in terms of strength in depth. I think Chelsea have the better squad. Chelsea could easily be an absolute mess, but they could be [strong contenders].”

Regarding his decision to rank Liverpool fifth, Neville added, “The impact of Jurgen Klopp leaving will take its toll, just based on the evidence of history.”
