'Some of the wounds from last season are reappearing': Gary Neville says Pep Guardiola faces 'one of his biggest jobs in football' to reclaim the Premier League title with Manchester City after shock Leicester defeat

Gary Neville believes Pep Guardiola is facing one of the biggest tasks of his managerial career to reclaim the Premier League title after watching his Manchester City side capitulate against Leicester.

Brendan Rodgers' men stunned Man City in a 5-2 victory which saw Eric Garcia, Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy gift three penalties to the visitors and cast further doubts as to whether Guardiola's men can take the Premier League crown off Liverpool this year.

Despite Riyad Mahrez giving Man City the lead four minutes into their first home Premier League game of the new season, the visitors came back and stormed to victory through a Jamie Vardy hat-trick and strikes from James Maddison and Youri Tielemans.
