Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United man Gary Neville has delivered his assessment of Liverpool’s title chances this season.
After 13 games the Reds are two points behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, and Neville has identified what they need to do to keep pace with Pep Guardiola’s side.
“Liverpool are hanging on in there, and they have just got to stay really close [to Man City],” he told Sky Sports. “There have been times when I was part of teams where we were chasing and hunting down. Stay on the shoulder, stay close – it unnerves teams when you don’t go away and you think about expecting them to drop points.
“I’ve had it the other way when we’ve been hunted down, where you expected a team to drop points somewhere and they didn’t, and I expected us to be a few points in front and we’re not. I don’t think it’s the point of the season where Man City will feel that, but Liverpool have to go into February or March on the coat-tails of Man City.”
