Arsenal Face Uphill Battle as Manchester City Close In

Gary Neville believes Arsenal must find an emotional balance ahead of their crucial Premier League title showdown with Manchester City. After losing 2-1 to Bournemouth, Arsenal's lead has been cut to six points, setting up a title-defining match at the Etihad next weekend. Neville thinks a midweek Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon could help Arsenal regain confidence. However, he warns that the Gunners must 'swim against the tide' and hold their nerve amidst the pressure. Neville says a first title win in 22 years was never going to be easy and that Arsenal must clear their minds and find the right emotional balance to succeed. He believes that if Arsenal can put things into perspective and feel free from pressure, they can express themselves and win the title.
