According to Gary Neville, Liverpool’s ‘factor’ in the title race match against Arsenal and Man City

After Liverpool and Arsenal defeated Fulham and Wolves, respectively, while Manchester City drew with Tottenham Hotspur, Gary Neville voiced his opinions on the Premier League title battle.

Gary Neville continues to rank Manchester City and Arsenal as his two front-runners for the Premier League title, leaving Liverpool out of the running.

The Reds defeated Fulham in a thrilling seven-goal thriller on Sunday, extending their winning league record at Anfield to seven games. After letting two leads go, Jurgen Klopp’s team scored late goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Wataru Endo to win 4-3 in dramatic fashion.

With their 2-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday, Arsenal maintained their lead in the table, but Liverpool’s stunning comeback victory increased the pressure. Later in the afternoon, Man City struggled for the third straight league match as Tottenham Hotspur held on for a 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium thanks to a header in stoppage time by Dejan Kulusevski.

With the busy holiday season quickly approaching, the title battle is approaching a critical turning point. Midweek sees Liverpool visit Sheffield United, City travel to Aston Villa, while Arsenal travel to Luton Town across the capital.

Neville thinks that because Klopp has a track record of success, the Reds will continue to be contenders with him in charge. However, the former Manchester United defender is still of the opinion that the winners and runners-up from the previous season will square off.

He stated on the Gary Neville Podcast, “I’m not sure about Liverpool, but then they have Klopp, so I think that’s a factor because he can win and he’s proven he can win.”

Arsenal appears to be on pace and capable of handling a run-in, but they still need to show in a run-in, and they need to get to that run-in. They handled a worse run-in last year, and I’m sure they’ll handle a better one this year because they completely failed.

“I think Arsenal has what it takes to win a league; that group of players is very good. They have more this season.”

There’s a lot on the line, but Arsenal will get greater confidence the more points they lose.

“What I would like to see is another run-in between Arsenal and City; if Liverpool is there as well, that makes it a three-horse race, which is fantastic, but it usually ends up being between two.” It will be interesting to see how Arsenal handles it if Arsenal and Manchester City play again; I have faith in them to handle it.”

Neville’s assertion follows the Premier League title battle being debated by Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender, after City made a mistake.

In particular, Carragher believes that there is no way to win the race to the top after Pep Guardiola’s team only managed three points out of a possible nine, giving up eight goals in the process.

Liverpool ready to make tremendous move for transfer of £45m midfielder

According to reports, Liverpool is going to put up a big fight to sign Nice midfield player Khephren Thuram, in a deal that might end up costing up to £45 million.

In an attempt to make multiple midfield changes, the Reds linked themselves with the Frenchman multiple times during the summer transfer window. However, a deal never materialised, as they signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch to replace departing stars like Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Nevertheless, Thuram is already being linked to Liverpool once more as Tutto Juve designates the Merseyside giants as significant participants in this trade drama.

They speculate that LFC might attempt to buy the 22-year-old for about £45 million. It will be intriguing to watch if they decide to prioritise adding yet another midfield player for January.

Thuram’s pursuers are Juventus and Inter Milan, but according to the source, Liverpool is now in the lead in the hunt for his signature.

Thuram appears to have a bright future as a player, so it will be interesting to see where he chooses to go for his next move. It would be great to see him play in the Premier League soon, though.
