Manchester United legend Gary Neville stands by his claim Liverpool cannot compete for both the Premier League and Champions League titles this season.

On Friday, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp hit back at Neville's comments that the Reds should "kick the Champions League into touch" in a bid to conserve energy for their gruelling Premier League campaign at his pre-Tottenham press conference on Friday.

"How should that work? We don't play Champions League, or what?" the German said. "Gary should come over and tell me exactly how that works."

But Neville doubled down on his original comment and believes the Reds are their best position for a number of years to end their Premier League hoodoo.

Neville tweeted: "Mad world this one! You make a comment that Liverpool are actually capable of winning a league title (but my reservations are them playing too many games sat/wed/sat) for the first time in 30 years and it's seen as a dig!

"I actually hope they play their best team every game!!"
