'Man City have been transformed by late £250m spending spree - but I still think Arsenal are better'

That said, Neville is still of the opinion that Arsenal are still the team to beat in this season’s Premier League title race."There was a point probably two or three weeks before the end of the transfer window when City didn’t have in Bouaddi, Enzo Fernandez and Ndiaye that you thought they look well short, particularly in midfield," Neville told Sky Sports."They get those three in late on which is £250 million worth of business I think and it’s transformed the look of the team."And I think the big thing for City is it’s going to come down to the defence. It’s going to come down to Dias being fit. It’s going to come down to Gvardiol being fit.Verdict: Gary NevilleSky Sports"The experienced players back there and Guehi, obviously. If you can keep that back four and you’ve got Khusanov on the bench and Nico O’Reilly, it’s a youngish back four as with some younger defenders."If they don’t pick up injuries Manchester City they can give Arsenal a real run. I still think Arsenal are better, but City have improved enormously with the signings they made at the end of the window."That today was big for Maresca, to establish a big-game mentality."
