Gary Neville has told Premier League title-chasing Arsenal which upcoming game they should "fear the most" as it will be "horrible" for them.

The Gunners are favourites won claim the title, which would be their first since 2003-04. Manchester City can go back top if they win their two games in hand, but that they have to be perfect through those and would still only be level has Arsenal higher in the estimations of oddsmakers.

The north London club's remaining three Premier League games are against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace.

None of those teams are in the top 14 in the league, but Neville feels West Ham will be a very tough game, given they've just dipped back into the relegation places and will be fighting for their lives to climb back out.

He said on Sky Sports: “I watched Arsenal last night [Saturday] and disappointed is the wrong word but Mikel Arteta might be thinking that they could have scored a couple more and whether they might regret that.

“But he’ll be happy with the win and he has to remind the players to take their chances and be clinical and ruthless. Those are the messages he will be giving, I imagine.

“They can’t sit back now in games, they need to keep going. I think Man City will beat Everton but it would be absolutely stunning if they were to drop points there, it would be stunning.

“I don’t think it will happen. It’s a massive week because I think the game Arsenal are most likely to drop points in is West Ham away.

“That’s the game they should fear most. It’s a horrible one because West Ham are fighting for their lives and need the points.”

Arsenal and West Ham have their own fights

Should Arsenal win all of their remaining games, providing City do as well, they'll want to have amassed as large a goal difference as they can to ensure they win the title via that metric.

Currently, Arsenal lead by four goals, but with City facing Everton and then Brentford in their next couple of games, they'll also be looking to make up some ground.

But West Ham are fighting for survival and now that Tottenham have gone back ahead of them by one point, they'll be scrapping for every point they can get.

It would be a massive statement were they to get a result against Arsenal, as it would deflate Spurs seeing them get something against the league leaders, while making the relegation fight very interesting and throwing the title race up in the air.
