Gary Neville has changed his prediction and now believes Manchester City will win the Premier League title ahead of Liverpool.
The Reds dropped to fourth in the league standings after a 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
However, with only five points separating United in first and Everton in sixth, the title race is wide open.
Liverpool are currently enduring their toughest spell of the season after failing to win any of their four league matches and haven't scored in their last three.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions and have conceded three times in their last 15 outings.
Should Pep Guardiola's side win their game in hand, they would leapfrog United and lead the Premier League table, putting them four points ahead of Liverpool.
As a result of City's form and Liverpool's struggles, Neville believes Man City will now lift the title in May.
"The title race is swinging back and forward. City are dangerous and emerging, and look like their form is good.
"Are Liverpool hitting their own standard? No.
"City just look like they're getting to a level where, if they maintain it, they could cause damage in this league. They're in a really good moment where confidence is good. But like most teams this season, it's been short-lived. It's been four or five weeks and then teams have that dip.
"Who is going to have that consistent run? I've said Liverpool all season, but I would transfer it to Man City now looking at the way they're playing. Liverpool aren't going to get Van Dijk back quickly, and then they can't get Fabinho into midfield.
"We've got an intriguing league, the most intriguing league where it looks like it can flip from one week to the other.
"The Premier League is providing one of the only bits of respite, along with walking and cycling, in the country, plus other football as well obviously. It's providing so much entertainment at home."
