Phil Neville considers Liverpool to be ‘serious title contenders’

Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville considers Liverpool to be “serious title contenders” after the Reds have made an impress start to the 2018-19 campaign.

Liverpool are three points clear at the top of the table having defeated Cardiff City 4-1 yesterday at Anfield, and Neville is convinced the Reds have all the ingredients to run Manchester City all the way.

“They have started the season really well,” Neville said on Match of the Day after Liverpool defeated Cardiff.

“At the start of last season they dropped points to teams like Cardiff but I think what has happened is they’ve bought well over the summer.

“Last year I think squad depth cost them but Jurgen Klopp has sorted that out and brought players in.
