After finishing an underwhelming fifth last season, and with their midfield being completely overhauled, many did not consider the Reds to be strong contenders to win the league in 2023/24.

Yet, with just 10 games to go, just one point separates Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table.

A 1-1 draw on Sunday between the latter two, means that the Gunners retain their spot at the top on goal difference.

Liverpool’s achievements are especially impressive given how much the team has changed over the last year, how many injuries they’ve had to deal with and how far they have gone in all competitions.
Klopp’s side are still in the FA Cup and Europa League, and won the Carabao Cup in February.

Neville, who at the start of the campaign had his money on Arsenal or City, believes much of the credit must go the German manager who is leaving Anfield at the end of the season.
