Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has again stated Liverpool cannot compete in both the Premier League and Champions League this season.

Neville and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp have exchanged barbs over the issue and before Liverpool's win at Tottenham, the pundit reaffirmed his view.

"The point I was making earlier on in the week I thought was a positive really, in the sense that probably in this time of the season over the last 28 years, I never felt that Liverpool had a strong chance of winning the league title," the former Manchester United captain told Sky Sports.

"I do not think they have great depth behind that front three and the drop in quality behind that front three is big.

"My view is if they were to go on a long Champions League, League Cup or FA Cup run, that would put that Premier League title at risk because I'm not sure that front three would be able to play Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, week in, week out.

"Liverpool, obviously, have a great history with the Champions League and with the European Cup. But make no mistake about it, Liverpool FC need to win a Premier League title. And that would be a game changer for them.

"And I do genuinely think they have a chance and to give themselves the best possible chance, and to remove one of those risks would be to not have too many matches for their best XI.

"Because I do believe that with that best XI on the pitch week in, week out, they have an opportunity to do it."
