Manchester United legend Gary Neville is hoping Liverpool will clinch the title on March 14 or April 4.

Neville will not be in the Sky Sports commentary box when Liverpool face Manchester City or Southampton, which means his reaction to United's rivals winning the title would not be caught on camera.

The former right-back told Sky Sports: "I have just been given my March and April fixtures this morning and my absolute preference is for Manchester City to drop points at either Burnley or Southampton and hand Liverpool the title because there are no Sky cameras anywhere near me.

"They are both Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and I can be at home, relaxed, out of the way. The last place I want to be is in the stadium when they win it.

"I know that doesn't suit the company or Sky or maybe even Liverpool fans, or even anybody at home, but if City can drop points at either Burnley or Southampton that would be ideal."
