Ex-Man Utd skipper Neville: Liverpool and Man City like two blokes nicking your wife!

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has described this season's Premier League title race as having two blokes trying to 'nick your wife'.

The ex-Red Devils defender sees Liverpool and Manchester City as two of the three title chances in the season run-in but United's hatred for the Reds and their rivalry with City has him wishing for anybody else.

"[Head to head] for the title? It's like having a choice of two blokes to nick your wife!" he joked on Sky Sports when quizzed about the upcoming fixture between Liverpool and City.

Furthermore, Neville suggested that perhaps Chelsea's chances would begin to slip away following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

"I think Chelsea at this moment in time, that pain of the forward is costing them a little bit and you just wonder whether they can get back from where they were on Saturday and losing at Palace," he added.
