Manchester City, in Gary Neville’s view, is in pole position to clinch the Premier League title even before the season’s finale.
Arsenal currently leads the table following a remarkable 3-0 victory against Bournemouth earlier on Saturday.
However, City’s swift response with an impressive 5-1 triumph over Wolves has put them just one point behind the Gunners as the competition nears its conclusion.
The next match for City sees them face Fulham this Saturday, while Arsenal takes on United at Old Trafford.
If Arsenal fails to secure points against United, Guardiola’s side could seal the title with a match to spare.
Neville, speaking on his podcast, stated: “The title race might go down to the wire, and if it does, it implies that Arsenal has succeeded in defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford.”
“While we can jest about Manchester United’s state, Arsenal winning at Old Trafford would be impressive.
“So, I have concerns that the title race might conclude next Tuesday. As a neutral, I want the competition to go down to the wire.”
“I fear that City will triumph against Fulham on Saturday, and United could thwart Arsenal on Sunday.”
“If Arsenal heads into the final day after defeating United, it would mark a significant improvement in their performance.”
“Although Arsenal has shown improvement from last season, the air feels like City’s perfect form will inevitably lead them to triumph.”
