Gary Neville has now admitted that Liverpool will almost certainly win the Premier League title this season.

But he just cannot bring himself to give that much credit to Arne Slot's side.

Instead, Neville is blaming his pick for the Premier League title at the start of the season — Arsenal — for not being good enough, rather than Liverpool having improved.



Neville's belief is that the league title is heading to Anfield more because Arsenal has dropped off than because Slot's team has been excellent.
