Patrice Evra has disagree with his fellow Manchester United legends as they are backing Manchester City to win Premier League Title Race ahead Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola sides are five points behind Arsenal despite winning 14 of their 20 league games this season..
Arsenal could extend their lead to eight points if they win their game in hand.
Neville revealed last weekend:
‘I don’t see them [Arsenal] going on to win the league, I see Manchester City winning it because what they’ve got in them is a special run.
‘I think Arsenal will lose one or two matches and City will be right on their shoulders and it will become very difficult for them.’
‘If I were to put money on it I would still think Man City.
Evra:
‘We keep saying Arsenal have proven themselves against Chelsea, against Tottenham and now against United, but everyone also keeps saying they’ve still got to face Man City.’
‘If I was an Arsenal player, I’d be fuming, I bet they can’t wait to play City.
Even if City beat them in both matches in the Premier League, they still have a chance of winning the title if they are strong mentally.
‘I don’t agree with Roy Keane and Gary Neville, I don’t think City will win the league, I think Arsenal will win.
The way they are playing consistently, I don’t see that with City.
‘I feel like Guardiola is still looking for something, that perfect combination.
When you have a team like Arsenal, desperate to win the league, you can’t waste any time.
‘City are City and if I was Arsenal I’d prefer it if it was another team chasing them down. You have to respect City and be careful of them.’
Evra on Arsenal meeting Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night.
‘Psychologically, it will have a massive impact for whoever wins this match, but it doesn’t mean they will win the league.’

‘For Arsenal, they have to believe that nothing is going to stop them.
If Arsenal win this game and their players don’t leave the Etihad thinking they’re going to win the league, then they will need to change jobs.
‘This is the last challenge for them. If they win then people will give them credit, and call them the real deal.
‘Arsenal won’t struggle right now, but in the last five games of the season.
The heat isn’t on them now though, the heat will come in the last five games.
‘With United, when we were going to win the league and we had three games left, that pressure is like something I can’t describe,
even though we didn’t have to win them all, we wanted to get it done as quickly as possible.
‘Arsenal play good football, but they will have to keep Haaland quiet. This is a tough one to predict.
‘I think we will see a beautiful game, I can see goals because both defences aren’t amazing.
It’s the master vs the student and they know each other. I can see this being a draw.’
This season Arsenal are strongly look like a genuine chance of lifting the league title and ending a drought few would have seen coming 20 years ago.
