Liverpool have emphatically proved Gary Neville's early assessment of their season ahead wrong at the start of the Premier League campaign. On Saturday, the Reds' 3-0 win over Crystal Palace took them to the table's summit as one of four unbeaten teams left in the top-flight.
Jurgen Klopp's side have started the campaign with comfortable wins over Norwich City, Burnley, Leeds United and Palace, and a draw against title rivals Chelsea at Anfield.
After backup centre-back Ibrahima Konate was Liverpool's only summer signing, Neville was sceptical about the club's title hopes.
And following the stalemate with Chelsea, the ex-Manchester United defender claimed 'something's not right' at Anfield.
"I was at the game on Saturday, Liverpool v Chelsea, and I said after the game - sometimes you can't put your finger on it [but] something's not right", Neville told the Webby and O'Neill YouTube channel.

"Not bad. There's no massive spirit issue or the manager falling out with players. Nothing like that. But there is something just missing.
"[Jurgen Klopp's] not got that money [to improve the side]. He's having to deal with a team who are a good team but look like the team that needed a boost.
"There are no massive problems at Liverpool. I'm not saying it is broken. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
"But I don't think they have got the momentum with them at this moment. They are just plateauting. I'm not sure Liverpool can get to first. I don't think they will get above [United] this year."
