'That will be wrong' - Gary Neville makes Liverpool U-turn after Manchester United prediction backfires

Gary Neville has made a correction involving Liverpool and his old club Manchester United.

The Sky Sports pundit was working alongside Reds legend Jamie Carragher for Monday Night Football.

Both Neville and Carragher were reflecting on Man United’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle United, when they turned their attention to their early season predictions.

Neville initially predicted Manchester City to win the Premier League, with the Red Devils and Chelsea finishing above Liverpool, who he tipped to be fourth.

This led to plenty of criticism for Neville among Kopites, and now the former Man United skipper has changed his mind.

Reflecting on his initial predictions, Neville still believes that Liverpool will finish behind Man City and Chelsea, but now above his beloved Red Devils.

“The top one I am all right with (backing Manchester City to win the PL title),” said Neville.

“The second one (Chelsea), I think Liverpool, you can swap them with Manchester United. That will be wrong.”

Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Man City, and level with third-placed Chelsea, but do have a game in hand.

After Man United’s draw with Newcastle, they are 13 points behind Liverpool in seventh having played one match less.
