Gary Neville mocks Liverpool as he jokes to Jamie Carragher they will bottle title

Gary Neville has poked fun at Jamie Carragher and Liverpool's title bid, saying the Reds' dreams are going to "fall apart right in front of my little eyes."

Liverpool are currently at the Premier League summit but have Manchester City, who have a game in hand, breathing down their necks at this late stage.

Neither side is a favourite for the title as the season draws to a close but Neville is hopeful Liverpool will slip up in the next few weeks.

On Thursday Neville took part in The Grand Slam Challenge on Sky Sports alongside Carragher to mark the start of the The Masters.

The challenge involved the duo putting balls with golf clubs and cricket bats while wearing helmets to obscure their vision.

Neville won the challenge 3-2 and also made sure he got in a few anti-Liverpool digs in a bid to put Carragher off his game.

"This is exactly what's going to happen to Liverpool at the end of the season," said Neville, as he willed Carragher to make a mistake.
