GARY NEVILLE'S VERDICT
"It's a far better Arsenal team than last season, a far bigger mentality, a stronger mentality.
"People will point towards William Saliba [returning] and I will as well, but it's more than that.
"There is a focus and discipline and attention to detail on the pitch in their defensive work. They maybe had a bit of a wobble, the Villa game and obviously in the Champions League, but that can happen.
"They've got back on the bike and demonstrated that they have moved forward as a club, moved forward as a coaching team, moved forward as a group of players and are nowhere near the position they were in last season.
"I think they will achieve a 100 per cent record. The one doubt is the Old Trafford game. It will all depend for me on how City do in the next week or two as well."

ROY KEANE'S VERDICT
"It's the same old story with City, even when they are not at their best. They know how to win football matches, they have good options off the bench, and they have got into a really good habit of winning matches in recent years."

Overall
Manchester City will claim an unprecedented fourth successive title if they win all of their three remaining games, but Guardiola's side face a tricky away day at Spurs on May 14.
Additionally, City also face Fulham and West Ham - both of whom typically sit deeper and possess counter-attacking threats that could breach their high line.
On paper, Arsenal have the easiest run-in with the average position of upcoming opponents ranking around mid-table at 11.5 - compared with Liverpool's (8.0) and City's (9.0) remaining schedule.
Predicted table
Manchester City are favourites to win the title with a 65.3 per cent chance, ahead of Arsenal (34.7 per cent) - according to Opta's supercomputer.
