Manchester United legend Gary Neville admits Chelsea's title triumph in 2010 still burns.
He wrote in his new book, 'Red', being serialised in the Mail on Sunday: "Chelsea had a little helping hand to win the 2009-10 title.
"Some thought it would be a big test for them playing at Anfield with a couple of games to go and the title still up for grabs, but at United we knew that Liverpool would ease off if that meant depriving us of the championship, especially a 19th championship that would take us past their record.
"We'd heard rumours during the week that some Liverpool players had turned round to one of their young lads and said: 'There's not a f****** chance we're going to let United win this league.'
"I've no idea whether that rumour was true or not, but you could see the game was a nice end-of- season stroll for Liverpool.
"You could see half their players were on their summer holidays. Yet we couldn't complain, not publicly. It was up to us to make sure we weren't in a vulnerable position.
"But it didn't say much for Liverpool."
