Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has said Liverpool are now “strong favourites” to win this season’s Premier League title.
The Reds pulled off a 2-0 win over champions Manchester City on Sunday.
The victory takes Arne Slot’s side nine points clear at the top and 11 ahead of champions City.
Arsenal and Chelsea both trail Liverpool by nine points, while City have now gone seven games without a win in all competitions and have lost six of those.
Speaking on his latest podcast, Neville said: “None of us expected it. I think Liverpool fans expected it.
“They may have expected them to finish in the top four but it’s absolutely brilliant what Arne Slot’s done and it gets really serious.
‘It’s gone from being a honeymoon period, a great start to hang on a minute.
“There’s a real expectation but they’ll be very, very strong favourites.
“Nine points clear of Arsenal, 11 points clear of Manchester City and there’s still four or five months to go.”
