Gary Neville is sceptical about Liverpool’s title credentials because they lack the traditional “strength and power” of Premier League winners.
Neville believes that if a team with the Reds’ lack of height were to win the title, that would change the landscape of English football.
“I still think strength and power, in the end, will overcome,” he told Sky Sports. “If you look historically, City teams, Chelsea teams and United teams that have won the league in the last few years or even Leicester last season, they had strength and power.
“I think it would be a little bit of a game-changer if Liverpool won the league with the players they’ve got and the back four they’ve got.”

Neville has been previewing Monday’s clash with Manchester United on Sky Sports and he continues: “Liverpool are going to come out the blocks like greyhounds.
“When I look at Liverpool, there’s only one way of playing with Georginio Wijnaldum, Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson. The energy is unbelievable.
“They have speed getting to the ball and the precision on the counter attack when they win the ball back can be devastating.”
Neville expects Manchester United to “go long” to survive the first 60 minutes against Liverpool.
