Liverpool now know exactly what they need to do to win the Premier League title
Liverpool now know exactly what they need to do to win the Premier League title- The champagne’s on ice at Anfield. While the Premier League crown isn’t officially theirs just yet, Liverpool are now just a whisker away from lifting their 20th top-flight title — and matching Manchester United’s historic tally.
Following Arsenal’s stumble midweek, the equation is simple: one point from five games is all the Reds need to seal the deal. And the stage is set — this Sunday, Arne Slot’s men host Tottenham Hotspur. Avoid defeat, and they’re champions. It’s that close.
If Liverpool manage even a draw, they’ll clinch the title with four games to spare — a remarkable feat and a crowning moment in what’s already been a spectacular season.
Liverpool are on the verge of clinching their 20th top-flight league title after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. The Reds currently lead the Premier League with 79 points and can secure the championship by avoiding defeat against Tottenham at Anfield this Sunday.
Arsenal, with four matches remaining, have 67 points and can reach a maximum of 79 points. This means that even if the Gunners win all their remaining games, Liverpool would still have the edge on goal difference. Therefore, a draw or win for Liverpool against Tottenham would mathematically confirm their title.
