Gary Neville and Ian Wright were in disagreement after what the latter said about Liverpool’s game against Manchester United this weekend.
The two fierce rivals are due to play tonight. Liverpool face Sheffield United at home, while Manchester United come down to London to take on Chelsea.
Despite that, all eyes are on the weekend. Jurgen Klopp will take his side to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in what will be a huge game.
Wright and Neville had their say about the upcoming fixture, and the two Premier League legends disagreed on one key point.

Liverpool and Manchester United are fighting for different things, aren’t they?
The Reds will return to the top of the Premier League if they beat Sheffield United tonight, and as long as they match the results of Arsenal and Manchester City, they will win the title.
Manchester United, on the other hand, only have an outside chance of finishing inside the top five this season. They are already nine points behind Tottenham.
The stakes on Sunday will be high for both clubs, especially Liverpool, who just can’t afford to drop points with City and Arsenal chasing them.
Ian Wright, however, believes the game at Old Trafford will be one of those fixtures where Liverpool wouldn’t actually mind a draw.
“I’m intrigued because Liverpool probably don’t have to win the game but they can’t lose that game,” Wright said on the latest episode of Stick to Football.
Gary Neville, however, completely disagreed. He believes Liverpool could lose the title if they drop points on Sunday.
He said: “I think they have to win. I don’t think in this title run-in, when you’ve got these three teams going for it, you can think you can afford to have just a draw.”

The Premier League title is in Liverpool’s hands at the moment.
The Reds are in the driving seat to win the title, but they will have to navigate a few tricky fixtures that are coming up, especially away from home.
Along with home games against Sheffield United tonight and Crystal Palace later this month, Liverpool have to travel to Manchester United, Fulham and also Everton for the derby.
Jurgen Klopp‘s men are more than capable of winning all five fixtures, but if they aren’t careful, the away games could cause them a few problems.
Liverpool’s last four games aren’t particularly easy either. They have home games against Tottenham and Wolves and away fixtures against West Ham and Aston Villa.
On paper, Liveprool’s fixture list is easier compared to Arsenal and Manchester City. but this is the Premier League and anything can happen here.
