Gary Neville changes his title prediction after Liverpool's win over Arsenal

Gary Neville has changed his mind on who will win the Premier League title this season - just three days into the new campaign.

The former Manchester United right-back had tipped Pep Guardiola's Manchester City to win the league back from Liverpool this season.

But the Citizens have had an uncharacteristically poor start to the campaign, and were battered 5-2 by Leicester City last time out.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have won all three of their opening fixtures and are once again the team to beat in English football.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, the Sky Sports pundit said: "I picked Manchester City before the start of the season, when we were asked to make our predictions, just on the basis that they would respond.

"I thought they would do more in the transfer market, but I'm in the position whereby, and it's only three games in, I'm going to change my mind.

"It's not because of Sunday. I was obviously at the Etihad on Sunday to see Leicester beat City 5-2, but just watching Liverpool, even in that first game against Leeds where some people took out of it that they weren't at their best, they were sloppy, and you could get at them.

"That was a mad game, the type of which I have been involved in myself and if you come out of those games on top, when you are not at your best, it demonstrates something.

"They also signed two players after that game and then they went to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea and they did the business.

"They then have Arsenal at home, another team near the top of the league, and they've done the business again."
