Gary Neville has labelled Liverpool an “exceptional” team but has admitted he “can’t look forward” to a title race between the Reds and Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded a 2-0 win over Watford on Saturday , courtesy of a Diogo Jota header and late penalty from Fabinho. While Manchester City restored their one point lead at the top of the table with a win over Burnley.
It sets up a nail-biting showdown between the two sides at the Etihad next weekend that will give Liverpool the opportunity to edge in front of City in the title race. And ex-Manchester United defender Neville was forced to accept “the greatness” of both sides, ahead of the potential title-decider.
