Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has urged Arsenal players to believe they can go to Manchester City next week and get a result.

Neville believes the front four of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli can “rip City to shreds” at the Etihad.

The Gunners have lost four points in the title race against Liverpool and West Ham.

Mikel Arteta’s men can, however, go seven points ahead of City when they take on Southampton at the Emirates this Friday.

But many observers have tagged City’s home fixture against Arsenal as the match that might decide the title.

“Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard, Jesus, they can go and rip the city to shreds a week on Wednesday. They can.

“They can go and score three at the Etihad." That’s what they’ve got to think. "They've got to think they’re going to go and create history,” Neville told Sky Sports.
