Redknapp: I thought Liverpool would be in Man Utd's place this season

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he was wrong about Liverpool this season.

Ahead of today's clash with Manchester United, Redknapp concedes he expected Liverpool to be the one out of the two teams to struggle.

Redknapp wrote for The Sun: "If you'd told me a few months ago that one of these would be challenging for the title and the other still struggling to find their feet, it wouldn't have been the biggest shock.

"But I genuinely thought it would be United in the mix and Liverpool going for the top four at best.

"Come on, you could hardly blame me. United had finished third, won the Carabao Cup and reached the FA Cup final in Erik ten Hag's first season.

"They looked a club on the up after so many false starts.

"I even tipped them to win the title. As someone who likes a flutter, that will never go down as one of my greatest tips!

"If anyone was going to struggle, you'd have put your money on Liverpool after so many changes and so many new faces."
