Liverpool has surged ahead in the Premier League standings, leading by a significant 15 points. The team managed by Arne Slot is on the verge of securing the league title.
Liverpool’s dominance was further highlighted over the weekend as they triumphed over Southampton with a 3-1 victory, while Arsenal faltered, drawing 1-1 against Manchester United. With just nine games left in the season, Liverpool holds a commanding lead that has historically led to securing the Premier League title.
For Arsenal to have a chance at the title, they must win all remaining 10 matches and hope for significant slip-ups from Liverpool, equivalent to five losses. The upcoming clash between Liverpool and Arsenal on May 10 might not hold the title significance it once did if Liverpool maintains their lead.
The earliest Liverpool could clinch the title is on April 12 if they win their next two matches against Everton and Fulham, while Arsenal falters against Chelsea, Fulham, Everton, and then drops points against Brentford.
If Arsenal loses to Chelsea but matches Liverpool’s subsequent results, Liverpool could secure the title with four matches to spare when they face Tottenham on April 27. Alternatively, if Arsenal wins their pending match and keeps pace with Liverpool, the title could be decided on the weekend of May 3/4 when Liverpool takes on Chelsea.
There is a scenario where Liverpool could be crowned champions with a win over Arsenal, provided they maintain a seven-point lead with two games remaining. However, the official trophy presentation for Liverpool may not occur until after their final home game against Crystal Palace on May 25.
This potential title win would allow Liverpool fans to witness the trophy lift in person for the first time since 1990, as their previous victory in 2020 was held behind closed doors due to pandemic restrictions.
Liverpool’s star player, Mohamed Salah, expressed his strong desire to win the Premier League again to celebrate with the fans. Salah emphasized the importance of winning the league over the Champions League, stating that his focus this season is on securing the Premier League title to share the joy with the city and its supporters.
