'Are you crazy?': Ian Wright floored by Gary Neville's Liverpool v Southampton prediction
Today at 04:10 AM
The business of predicting scorelines can feel like the devil's work, particularly in a top-flight as competitive as the Premier League.
Liverpool are set to take on Southampton in their return to competitive club action on Sunday after having entered the November international break top of the league table.
The Merseysiders lead incumbent champions Manchester City by five points and fellow challengers Arsenal by nine points.
Gary Neville changes his mind about Liverpool
Gary Neville's initial call of a 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Southampton, even allowing for a surprise or two this weekend, seemed a particularly bold suggestion.
As one might expect, it inspired horror from the Englishman's fellow co-hosts on The Overlap.
"We'll go 1-1," the MNF pundit and Paul Scholes called the score.
"Really? Hang on. Hang on, wait a minute. Liverpool are top – are you crazy? Why am I telling you lot? Why am I helping you?" Ian Wright challenged the prediction.
The former pair then opted to change their predicted score to a 2-1 win for Liverpool away on the South Coast.
