Gary Neville names Liverpool’s biggest rival for Premier League title

‘Liverpool are clearly the best team in the Premier League at this moment in time,’ Neville said on his after the remarkable clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

They’re the clear favourites for the title. Man City’s drop-off has been spectacular, I’m not sure anyone really knows how it’s gone so badly wrong.

‘Chelsea had a tough game today but they’re doing well and having a good season.

‘I think the one team Liverpool need to watch are Arsenal if they can get their tail up and close that gap going in March and April.
