Gary Neville has shared who he would rather see win out of Manchester City and Liverpool.
It really feels like big-match weekend as the Premier League’s top two contenders come face-to-face on Sunday in a heavyweight clash.
Liverpool currently sit at the top of the table but Manchester City are hot on their heels and trail by only a single point.
A win for Pep Guardiola’s team would see the Blues climb to top spot and take the ascendency in the title race.
Liverpool could extend their lead by four points if they win while a draw would open the door for Arsenal to move into first, if only on goal difference.
It’s a humungous game and Liverpool have a significant home advantage, with City struggling at Anfield so much in recent years.
Gary Neville has named the team he wants to see emerge victorious.

Speaking on The Overlap, Neville said: “What do you think will happen at the weekend?
“I think City will beat you, I want Liverpool to win because I want to league to be opened up.
“But I think City will win on Sunday, I think he’ll come and he’ll put a right job in,”
City v Liverpool injury news
Who would have thought Manchester United stalwart Neville would ever want Liverpool to win anything? That’s the power of City.
Liverpool will have a raucous Anfield atmosphere and the narrative support of it being Jurgen Klopp’s last season in charge going into the match but they are severely depleted by injuries.
The Merseyside outfit could be without nine players as Ibrahima Konate was the latest to suffer a knock on Thursday night.
The centre-back joins Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Joel Matip, Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic in the treatment room.
That’s a severe injury list but Liverpool still managed to win the Carabao Cup while so depleted.
City, meanwhile, are expected to be without Jack Grealish while Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes are also doubts.
