Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville believes the injury picked up by Manchester City defender Ruben Dias means Liverpool are not out of the Premier League title race yet.
The centre-back came off during the 5-0 home win over Newcastle United that moved City three points clear of Liverpool with three games left to play. But Pep Guardiola's side will have to play those games - away to Wolves and West Ham United and then home to Aston Villa - without Dias and two other key defenders, Kyle Walker and John Stones.
Former Manchester United star Neville believes that is a 'boost' for Liverpool - and that Wolves or West Ham could take points off the league leaders in their next two matches.

Speaking on the Gary Neville podcast, he said: "I do believe Wolves or West Ham could shock Manchester City. With Ruben Dias injured, they are going to teams who have got systems of play that can hurt City. Both teams have had good seasons. They are awkward. City will need to be at their best.
"The centre-back partnership has been obliterated. The injury is a boost for Liverpool's chances. I do think there is something left in this title race. It won't go plain sailing to the end. If City get through the next two, they'll win it. Wolves or West Ham have to pull points off City but it's not over.
"If Liverpool had to pick two away games to send City to it probably would be Arsenal and Tottenham, but after that it would be West Ham and Wolves. Manchester United have gone and Chelsea have dropped their levels.
"There is a lot to play for. It's good for the league that Liverpool are playing first and can get level. I don't think Liverpool will drop points. They will do their job."
Liverpool's next game is on Tuesday night away to Aston Villa, where they will be looking to move level with City on points at the top of the table.
