Former Manchester United star Gary Neville believes current champions Manchester City are performing well below their capabilities this season.

Reigning champions City currently sit fourth on the Premier League table, nine points behind Chelsea, having played one game more than the leaders.

Sky Sports pundit Neville said: "This is a talented squad, along with Chelsea the best squad in the league. They should be pushing them all the way in the league.

"They are falling well short of where they should be. Make no mistake about that.

"We said three, four months ago, 'it is now or never for this team'. They cannot progress beyond the last 16 of the Champions League, they cannot sustain success by winning back-to-back championships, they are getting older and their average age is the highest in the league.

"Unfortunately some of those lads are not going to be there next season. That Manchester City team, with the ambition and quality they have, should be doing better than that."
