Former Manchester United star Gary Neville jokes that watching a Man City vs. Liverpool title race is "worse than a funeral."

The Red Devils legend has to watch as two of his side's bitterest rivals go head to head for another Premier League title.

Liverpool are in the driving seat, as they defeated Manchester City at the weekend to open up an eight point lead at the top of the table.

Speaking about the title race on Sky Sports, Neville said: "It's as painful as it gets. I have worn all black today with a black tie as well.

"It was a funeral match today, it was worse than a funeral. This is my funeral and you are witnessing it as we speak.

"Manchester United fought for 20-odd years to get a title back and keep it away from Liverpool, the one club that can compete with United in terms of global fanbase, scale, tradition, history, success.

"If they get a Premier League title under their belt, they become a real power.

"In football, when a group of fans love a manager, love a group of players and you see that triangle of the manager, players and fans coming together, it's so powerful. It's a spirit that's difficult to break."
