Liverpool was close to winning the 2014 league title!
However, they missed out by painfully narrow margins and they have a chance now to redeem it in 2020.
So what is the difference between the two sides? Neville compares.
“If you look back to that team, there are some comparisons with this current Liverpool team,” Neville said on Sky Sports’ The Football Show, as quoted by the Express.
“The difference is that the back five that this current Liverpool team has got is just absolutely head and shoulders above the back five that the team that we saw there had if you just put them down side by side.
“But if you look at [Raheem] Sterling, [Daniel] Sturridge and [Luis] Suarez, I know that we rave about [Sadio] Mane, [Roberto] Firmino and [Mohamed] Salah and rightly so, they’re absolutely breathtaking.
“But that front three, Suarez is as good as it gets, I think is as good as it gets, we know what Raheem Sterling is like, Daniel Sturridge in terms of his quality in and around that.
“Then obviously in midfield, you had Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson, so that team does have some similarities in qualities to the current Liverpool team but the back five that the team has now with Alisson and [Virgil] Van Dijk and the two full-backs is just outstanding.
“That’s a big difference.”
