Gary Neville believes Manchester United have a 'great chance' of pipping Liverpool to a top-four place after they beat West Ham United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Marcus Rashford scored his fourth league goal of the season to push the Red Devils into fifth place, a point off Newcastle United in fourth, and seven above above ninth-placed Liverpool, who dropped yet more ground on their Champions League -chasing rivals after they were beaten 2-1 by Leeds United on Saturday evening. The defeat ended the Reds' 18-month unbeaten home league run and condemned them to their worst start to a season under Jurgen Klopp.
Results elsewhere over the weekend means the Anfield club are now closer to the bottom three than they are to a top-four spot with three of their four likely rivals joining Arsenal and Manchester City - who are first and second respectively - in picking up three points. Prior to Liverpool's late kick-off on Saturday night, Newcastle thumped Aston Villa 4-0, while Tottenham Hotspur came from 2-0 down at Bournemouth to win 3-2 in the dying minutes.
