Gary Neville has analysed how Liverpool can be given a run for their money by Manchester City who are trailing the Reds by 4 points.
“There’s no doubt it’s a different type of pressure. City will absolutely want to be closing that gap to one point and asking Liverpool have they got it within them to withstand the pressure of playing a day or two after. Both teams will have to cope with it but definitely playing first is an advantage.”
“The emotion surrounding a Liverpool title run-in, like we saw a few years ago, is going to come again. It’s a huge club, having not won it for well over 25 years and the fact it means so much, Jurgen Klopp brings that sort of passion too… that moment is coming to come where it gets really ramped up.
“I interviewed Klopp a few weeks ago and he plays it down, but he’s been here before with Dortmund. A lot of the players haven’t, a lot haven’t been through a title run-in with Liverpool.
“City will want to play on their experience and composure and it does count, but you’ve got to be in there, neck and neck, and City will want to make sure going into April and May, the last six or seven games, Liverpool are under the maximum pressure, which means level or just in front.
“Then Liverpool will have a lot of questions to answer.”
