Liverpool one point from title – but when could they clinch it?

After being held by Crystal Palace on Wednesday, Liverpool are on the verge of winning the Premier League title. They only need one point to clinch it.

With a 1-0 win over Leicester over the weekend, Arne Slot’s side won their sixth straight league game.

If the Reds do not lose to Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday (16:30 BST), they will be able to claim their 20th top flight title, which is unmatched.

The Merseysiders would now have 80 points, with Arsenal, who is only allowed to reach 79 after winning all of their games, still in second place.

Due to their draw with Palace, Arsenal can only match Liverpool’s standings.

Haven’t we all heard the accusations and whispers coming from rival fans this season?

This Liverpool team isn’t really that great, according to the statement. This season, the Premier League is a poor league. The title wouldn’t have been won by Liverpool’s class of 2024-25 in a subsequent season.

But how fair is this, exactly?

First of all, it must be noted that Liverpool’s regular rivals don’t have the best seasons.

Under Pep Guardiola, defending champions Manchester City are on the verge of their worst campaign, while Manchester United are on the verge of their worst season in Premier League history, Arsenal are eight points behind their total at this point, and Tottenham and Chelsea have also struggled.

Liverpool’s full-strength has been a good year so far. And Slot’s men have done it without a doubt.

Liverpool would still be five points ahead of Arsenal if they were at the top of the table at the time of the season, at the same level as Arsenal, with 74 points still remaining.

The highly regarded Invincibles at Arsenal finished the title-winning campaign in 2004 with 90 points. To defeat that, Slot’s men need 12 points from five games.

Only 14 Premier League clubs have reached that mark in 32 seasons, including Manchester United, who did it in a 42-game span in 1993-94.

Only 12 of the 31 league winning sides with 90 or more points have scored at the highest level, making them the only ones to do so twice under Jurgen Klopp.
