Gary Neville has claimed that Manchester City will fancy themselves to win the treble unless Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri or Erling Haaland pick up major injuries.
After beating Fulham 2-1, City have climbed above Arsenal in the Premier League table, sitting one point ahead of the north Londoners whilst also having a game in hand over their title rivals. Pep Guardiola's side are also in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and final of the FA Cup, where they will face Real Madrid and local rivals Manchester United respectively.
Now, United legend Neville has admitted that the Citizens will be confident that they can win all three major trophies unless they get unlucky with injuries in the next few weeks. Speaking on Sky Sports, he said "But I think City now will really fancy themselves, they are in such good form, all their players are fit.

"I’m not sure what has happened to [Kevin] De Bruyne today [missing the Fulham game] and why he’s not in the squad, maybe find that out in a few minutes, but only injuries to maybe [Erling] Haaland, De Bruyne, and Rodri I think is the other one, I think would leave a massive dent in their treble hopes.
“And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that something happens.” Speaking before kickoff at Craven Cottage, Guardiola confirmed that De Bruyne picked up a knock during Wednesday night's 4-1 win over Arsenal, a match that the Belgian international dominated by scoring twice.
That result means the Gunners no longer have control of their own destiny regarding the title, a major blow considering they were eight points clear at the top earlier this month. Next up for Mikel Arteta and co is a game against London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening, with the Blues currently languishing in 12th.
