'You're Saying That To Get Headlines' - Gary Neville's Prediction Will Drive Liverpool Fans Mad

Gary Neville is almost infamous at this stage for making outlandish predictions, particularly when it comes to Man United and Liverpool.

Last year he said that United would finish above Liverpool, and that if Jurgen Klopp had the choice, he would have swapped his midfield for The Red Devil's.

Of course those comments didn't exactly age well as The Reds finished third in the league, well clear of Neville's old club, and most of United's problems came from having a fragile midfield.

However, that has not deterred the Sky Sports pundit from sticking to his guns, and speaking on the latest episode of Stick to Football, he has only went and done it again.

I am not sure [on Liverpool getting top four],” Neville said on Sky’s Stick to Football podcast.

Carragher then asked: “Do you think Manchester United will get in, but Liverpool won’t?”

Neville then responded, “Yeah, maybe,” before Carragher went on to say: “You say this every season without fail. Bookmark this.”

Neville continued: “Every season, yeah. I am quite often wrong as well. It gets played back during the season, it’s quite enjoyable.

When asked to pick his top four, it should come as no surprise that the Anfield side didn't get a mention, but when it came to picking his surprise of the season, Neville was sure to include Arne Slot's team.

“I am going to go Tottenham [in the top four] – the surprise of the season, it can be anything. My surprise is Liverpool don’t finish in the top six.

"My surprise is Liverpool won't finish in the top six. Is there a risk with what Klopp got out of that group last season, is there a risk that Liverpool just purely because of what happened with other clubs where managers of that ilk, is there a risk they could tank?

"It won't have helped the changing room losing out on that player (Martin Zubimendi) I don't think. The older players will be thinking 'what's going on here?'. It will unnerve you when you miss out on a player you think you're going to get."

Carragher could only shake his head and say "you're saying that to get headlines" and to be fair, it's done just that.

However, when you consider that Liverpool have not made a single signing this summer, and the potential impact that Klopp's departure might have, there are certainly some valid reasons to think that they might not enjoy the best season this year.
