Neville - no room for
complacency
Gary Neville believes the 2009/10 Premier League
title race could be the most competitive in years.
The veteran defender has helped Manchester United take the crown
in each of the last three seasons, but their grip on the trophy
could be slipping.
Chelsea lead the way from United heading into Christmas, with
Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham still well in the hunt.
Neville feels the increased competition in the English top
flight is a positive sign and is adamant United and Chelsea will
not be allowed to pull clear.
"I've been saying all along that it's not a two-horse race - it
can change so quickly," said the experienced full-back.
"We've dropped points, Chelsea have dropped points, and it can
close up at the top very quickly."
He added: "I think the Premier League is getting stronger, with
teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Villa spending a
lot of money.
"But it's always been the case that all teams can beat one
another in England."
