Gary Neville believes Liverpool could slip up in their remaining fixtures against sides in the bottom half of the Premier League title as they look to pip Manchester City to the league crown.
Jurgen Klopp's side have not lifted the trophy since 1990 and sit two points clear of City at the league's summit, though the Blues hold a game in hand.
City will move back to the top with a win against Cardiff on Wednesday and Neville feels the Bluebirds are the sort of opposition against whom Liverpool could experience difficulties in their six remaining league outings.
"I don’t think today is the toughest game for Liverpool," the former Manchester United captain told Sky Sports after the Reds beat Tottenham in fortuitous fashion on Sunday.
"I think Southampton away, Cardiff away, even Newcastle away, could provide tougher and sterner opposition.

"It’s those games that can sometimes freak you out a bit, especially as a couple of those teams are in relegation battles.
"We are at Southampton on Friday [on Sky Sports] and Liverpool will start as favourites, but those games can be tougher than this type of game, when everybody is up for it, the fans, the players, and it’s an obvious difficult opponent."
