Not for the first time in recent years, Gary Neville has predicted Liverpool to finish outside the top four of the Premier League this season.
Having ended a harrowing 2025/26 campaign in fifth place and just about salvaging Champions League qualification, the Reds will be striving for a big improvement this time around, but a 2-2 draw at Newcastle on Sunday indicated that they remain unconvincing.
In contrast to last summer, incoming transfer activity has been thin on the ground this year, although reports from France over the past 24 hours suggest that a deal for Bradley Barcola could be imminent.
Neville and Jamie Carragher were tasked with giving their predictions for the Premier League season on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, and while the latter backed Liverpool to finish fourth, the former believes we'll end up one position lower.
The 51-year-old said: "I can't separate Man United and Liverpool in fourth place. I genuinely have no idea. I think City are in a better position than United. At the moment, I'm not convinced by United or Liverpool, but I do think they'll finish fourth and fifth [respectively]."
