Neville has criticised Manchester City’s failure to replace departed captain Vincent Kompany in the summer and says their current defence is giving opposition teams chances they never did before.
And for that reason the pundit believes the title is Liverpool’s to lose.
“I don’t think [Liverpool] can lose it from here,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
“It’s 30 games to go, I did the Everton City game last Saturday and City are not right, they’re not right.

“City have not shown vulnerability for two years - they’re now vulnerable and teams will believe they can beat them.
