Gary Neville says Liverpool now have four world-class players after changing his mind on one of Jurgen Klopp's stars.

Liverpool moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table as they beat Newcastle United 4-2 on Monday, setting a new record in the process.

Mohamed Salah bagged a brace on his last appearance for the club ahead of representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo also scored for the Reds.

Salah set up Gakpo's goal and played a role in Jones' strike from close range as Neville hailed the winger's influence before and after the Anfield clash.

He called him world-class while acknowledging Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, who has returned to his best this season.

Before kick-off, he said: "Liverpool have got three world-class players in Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Salah. Van Dijk has been back to his best in this past month or two.

"Liverpool's defensive record has been good and they've kept a lot of clean sheets.

"Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world and they've got somebody who hits numbers from a wide area that is so consistent and delivers year in, year out. It's unbelievable.

"If they keep those three fit, they're in with a massive chance."

Buy after the result, the Manchester United legend changed his mind as he mentioned Trent Alexander-Arnold, highlighting his 'sensational' ability on the ball.

Neville went onto claim that if Liverpool can keep them four players fit for the season, then they can push Manchester City all the way.

"They'll be the one team that City probably won't want against them," he added.

Liverpool, who pipped Man City to the league title in the 2019/2020 campaign, are currently five points ahead of Pep Guardiola's side.

Klopp's team have won an impressive 13 league games this season, losing just once as they mount a serious title challenge.
