Manchester City and Liverpool have many of the best players in world football on their respective teams and Gary Neville is relishing the prospect of seeing the two of them go toe-to-toe at Anfield.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Manchester United defender spoke about his excitement before seeing Virgil van Dijk take on Erling Haaland: “At the end of the day, you know how I feel about those two clubs, but the reality is that on Sunday you can’t help”. but think about Haaland vs van Dijk, you can’t help but think about how that will play out.
“The best centre-back in the world in the last three or four years, he struggled a bit more this season, against an absolute phenomenon. Liverpool, with that line that pushes up and that space behind, I am fascinated by the game, I can’t wait for him to be honest.

There was certainly plenty of praise for our No. 4 from Salford City co-owner and it’s good to see that, despite what some may think of his current form, he’s clearly still highly respected.
It is currently 1-0 for our man, following the win and clean sheet in the Community Shield, let’s hope the 31-year-old can keep that record intact against the Norwegian this weekend.
