Gary Neville recently predicted that Manchester United will finish the 2020/21 Premier League season above Liverpool and now Robbie Savage has come out with another shocker.
The pundit recently made his top-four prediction and in that he has claimed that Liverpool will be able to retain their crown but it will be Manchester City who are set to occupy the last Champions League spot on the league table.
Talking about Liverpool, winning the Premier League, Savage wrote for The Mirror: “Jurgen Klopp is not the sort of manager to let the grass grow under his feet.
“They have stockpiled 196 points over the last two seasons and that defensive unit, with Virgil van Dijk at its heart, will be the foundation for more success.
“They have only lost four games out of the last 77 in the Premier League – that’s some going.”
The pundit has predicted that Manchester United should be able to climb up the ladder and finish second while Chelsea will take up the next spot on the Premier League table.
He added: “I can’t wait to see United’s midfield three of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and new signing Donny van de Beek supplying the ammunition for Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial.
“Add a world-class centre-back and a top-class goalscorer and they will be the real deal.
“Owner Roman Abramovich means business – he’s given manager Frank Lampard £230 million to spend this summer and Chelsea have brought in serious quality.
“Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr will build on Lampard’s excellent first season in charge – but he needs a world-class goalkeeper.”
And finally Savage has written that Manchester City are likely to slide down the ladder.
He said: “If Lionel Messi wasn’t staying at Barcelona, all bets would be off. City’s suspect backline has been shored up by £41m Nathan Ake and the 18-point gap to champions Liverpool last season looks a bridge too far.”
