Gary Neville Admits What He’s Got Completely Wrong About Liverpool as They Extend Their Lead at the Top of Premier League

Gary Neville has admitted that he was entirely mistaken about a prediction he made about Arne Slot’s impact at Liverpool, following their dominant 6-3 victory over Tottenham.

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points after their triumph in North London, with the added advantage of a game in hand. The Reds delivered what might be their finest display under their new Dutch manager so far, appearing almost unbeatable at present.

Reflecting on Liverpool’s emphatic win over Spurs, Neville admitted that his earlier assessment of how the team would perform under Slot has been thoroughly disproven.

Gary Neville’s Liverpool Drop-off Under Arne Slot Prediction is Proven Wrong

Gary Neville has admitted that Arne Slot has completely proven him wrong after he predicted Liverpool would experience a natural drop-off following the Dutchman’s arrival.

The former Manchester United defender now believes Slot is enjoying one of the most impressive starts ever seen by a Premier League manager.

Slot has remarkably won 21 of his first 25 matches in charge of Liverpool — a feat unmatched by any English top-flight manager since William Suddell with Preston in 1888. The Reds are firmly on track to claim only their second Premier League title, currently leading the table by four points with a game in hand.

Neville told Sky Sports: “One of the most impressive starts from a manager in 32 years of the Premier League is happening in front of our eyes from that man.

“Taken over from Jurgen Klopp, many including myself, think there would be a natural decline and a bit of pain but it’s been the absolute opposite.”

Liverpool will be eagerly anticipating their upcoming clash with Leicester City after the Foxes suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Wolves. The Merseyside club will host Leicester on Boxing Day and will aim to secure a commanding victory.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be determined to bounce back from their goalless draw against Everton when they welcome West London rivals Fulham.

Arsenal, on the other hand, will be hoping that Bukayo Saka’s lengthy hamstring injury does not significantly impact their performance as they prepare to face Ipswich Town.
