Neville: Liverpool players will be happy with Man City thrashing | OneFootball

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Liverpool players will be happy after seeing Leicester City thrash Manchester City.

Neville reckons that Liverpool's players will have gained in confidence already for this season's title race after watching rivals Manchester City suffer a 5-2 defeat at home to Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City.

He said, "He (Pep Guardiola) has set the standard.

"Is it fair to say that as he stands on the touchline here today with no title last season, he has got the biggest job that he has probably ever had in football at this moment in time, to win the title again.

"He could go two seasons without it because they do look well behind Liverpool compared to what we saw at Stamford Bridge last week.

"We know the standard that Liverpool are setting. When you think of the business they have done in the last week.

"I know it is early, but Liverpool will be watching this game and they will gain in confidence from this. You do.

"There is a long way to go but when you see your main rivals losing like this, it just gives you encouragement. It makes you feel stronger."
