Gary Neville believes 'it would be a huge shock' if struggling Stoke or Southampton claw themselves out of Premier League drop zone

Gary Neville weighed in on the battle for Premier League survival, claiming it would be a 'huge shock' if Stoke or Southampton pull off a great escape.

The Sky Sports pundit was speaking in the wake of Stoke's 1-1 draw with West Ham and admitted he can't see either side stringing together the necessary wins.

Both teams have amassed 28 points in total and remain five points adrift of Swansea in 17th.
