Manchester United legend Gary Neville has tipped Manchester City to pip Liverpool to top spot if the Premier League title race goes the distance.

The Reds could only extend their advantage over the champions by a point in midweek as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Leicester City, 24 hours after City suffered a shock 2-1 loss at Newcastle United.

Liverpool's advantage still stands at a healthy five points, however, with just 14 games left to play.

The Merseysiders faded away in the final few games of the 2013-14 season after being made strong favourites to lift their first Premier League title, though, and Neville has questioned whether they can hold their nerve five years on.

"They are still in this title race, five points is not a major lead by any stretch of the imagination, it can be gone in two games. And it will just go away and move away from Liverpool if they make a mistake or two," he told Sky Sports News.

"For City, they just have to keep the pressure on. If City keep close within the last five games, I think they will win it. If it comes down to nerve in the last five games, City will win it.

"But I do think at this moment of time that City are making mistakes and Liverpool look like they are making less. And Liverpool could pull clear a little bit and that could be a problem for City, they might just get far enough in front to be able to cause City a bigger problem."

Man City can close the gap to two points with victory over Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, with Liverpool not in action until their trip to West Ham United on Monday night.
