Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has insisted that Manchester City still have the advantage in the Premier League title race, despite playing a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Monday night.
The result means Pep Guardiola’s side are just four points clear at the top of the league table with Liverpool having a game in hand.
Neville admits Liverpool remain hot on City’s heels, but is still confident the Premier League champions will end up on top in the hunt to be crowned champions.
Jurgen Klopp now has Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and Diogo Jota at his disposal, as they chase down City.
“I wouldn’t say it’s 50/50, Manchester City do just edge it.
“But Liverpool have got five players up front who are an absolute joke.
“You think about where they were, AFCON, Salah and Mane going away for a month, I thought that City would be out of sight. You thought City were going to win the league at a canter and they’ve not done.
“That’s credit to Liverpool, credit to the players, the signing of Diaz in January and the fact they’ve got a great manager who is able to drag that level of performance out of them week in, week out,” Neville told Sky Sports.
