Gary Neville from Sky Sports on Gary Neville’s Latest Podcast:
“The title race is going back and forth. City are dangerous and emerging, and their form seems to be good.
“Is Liverpool reaching its own standard? No.
“It seems that City is reaching a level where if they hold it, it could cause damage in this league. They are in a really good moment where confidence is good. But like most teams this season, it has been short “Lived. Four or five weeks have passed and then teams have that slump.”
“Who’s going to have that constant streak? I’ve said Liverpool all season, but I’d transfer it to Manchester City now seeing the way they’re playing. Liverpool isn’t going to get Van Dijk back quickly, and then they can’t get to Fabinho in the midfield.
“We have an intriguing league, the most intriguing league where it seems like it can change from week to week.
“The Premier League is providing one of the only respite moments, along with walking and biking, in the country, plus other football obviously. It’s providing a lot of entertainment at home.”
