Gary Neville believes Liverpool were the 'winners' in the Premier League title race after Arsenal's draw with Manchester City.
The result leaves Liverpool five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after just five matches.
Liverpool remain the only club in the Premier League to have a 100 percent record after five matches, with Arne Slot's side recording their fifth win of the campaign over Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
Neville was on commentary duty for Sky Sports' coverage of the draw between Arsenal and City and believes the result will benefit the Reds the most, reports the Mirror.

"Guardiola shrugs his shoulders - he decided 25-30 minutes out from the end of the game how he was going to win it and he got so close," Neville told Sky Sports.
"But credit to Arsenal, Eze and Martinelli for that bit of brilliance at the end, but those blue shirts will be disappointed.
Liverpool maybe the winners of this result."
Liverpool now have 15 points to their name - five more than Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth, who are all locked on 10 points each after the opening five fixtures.
The Reds will now travel to face Crystal Palace in their next Premier League fixture at the weekend, but not before they have hosted Southampton in the third round of the Carabao Cup in midweek.
