Gary Neville names one reason why Liverpool won't challenge for the title this season

Gary Neville believes that although Liverpool have their spirit back, they won’t challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Neville believes the Reds could still be lacking a "true holding player," which could prevent them from challenging for the title this season.

"They've definitely got a spirit, a fight, Klopp's teams always do. I don't think they'll challenge for the title."

“Their midfield is better and settled in quicker than I thought they would, but I still think there will be some challenges that they haven't got a true holding player.

“They're in a pretty decent place. Klopp might not challenge for the title this season but another transfer window or two and he may have something quite special.

“If Nunez, Diaz, Salah, Jota, Gakpo, Gravenberch, if those players can start to build something this season they may be in a place next season where they can challenge again with one or two more additions. They aren't far away.

"Klopp will be in a good place from where he was in the transfer window when he was wondering what was going to happen and there was a little bit of dismay amongst Liverpool fans that they wouldn't get those midfield players they needed."
