Premier League: What scenarios allow Liverpool to clinch the title?
Liverpool continues its triumphant march towards the Premier League title this season, four years after their last triumph in the 2019/2020 campaign.
On Sunday, the Reds secured a precious and hard-fought victory against Leicester City (1-0), thanks to a goal by substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold. Meanwhile, Arsenal secured a dominant (4-0) win over Ipswich Town.
Despite the Gunners' impressive performance, Liverpool maintains its grip on the league. They firmly sit at the top of the standings, with a ten-point lead over their closest rival, making them the strong favorites to win the title with five games remaining.
This remarkable journey reflects the consistency of the team led by Arne Slot, who has orchestrated an impressive season with 27 wins, 7 draws, and only 2 losses in 33 matches. The Reds have scored 75 goals while conceding 31.
Liverpool one step away from glory... The scenarios for a 20th triumph!
Liverpool is just three points away from lifting their twentieth English championship trophy.
The big showdown will take place next Sunday at Anfield, where the Reds will host Tottenham as part of the 34th matchday. A victory in this match would officially crown Mohamed Salah and his teammates, regardless of Arsenal's subsequent results.
However, the title could be secured even earlier. Indeed, if Arsenal stumbles against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, Liverpool would be crowned without even playing.
In the event of a draw for the Gunners, the Reds would only need a single point against Spurs to be officially crowned.
