Neville also said Arsenal left themselves ‘short’ by failing to add another forward in January, with Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus all sidelined.
Neville said he still expected Arsenal to beat West Ham at home, with Arteta left furious at his team dropping their standards in the 1-0 defeat at the Emirates.
"Liverpool have drawn two in the last three, they've drawn four in the last eight, Arsenal have had a chance to get back closer, they could have gone within five points [had they beaten West Ham].
Arteta said Arsenal “deserve” to feel the “pain” of their defeat to West Ham as the Gunners look to pick themselves up ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
Neville, who had the Gunners as his favourite to win the title at the start of the season, also said Arsenal had paid the price for not strengthening their squad in January.
