Gary Neville believes Newcastle United could have presented Liverpool with a chance to finish in the top four.
The Reds’ hopes of securing a top four finish suffered another blow on Sunday when they drew 2-2 with Arsenal at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side came from 2-0 down to claim a point thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
The result leaves Liverpool 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. And Neville believes had Newcastle dropped points over the past week then they could have presented Klopp’s side with a chance of finishing inside the top four, but the former Manchester United defender has now claimed Eddie Howe’s men will be playing Champions League football next season.
