As early as Wednesday evening, April 23, Liverpool might be formally declared the English Premier League’s 2024–2025 champions.
With a close but significant 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, Liverpool has cemented their leading position in the table and is now 13 points clear of second-place Arsenal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered the decisive blow with a powerful strike, propelling Arne Slot’s side closer to their ultimate goal of clinching the title.
However, Liverpool’s title fate could be sealed sooner, depending on the outcome of Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium later today.
Should Arsenal falter and lose to Palace, the gap between them and Liverpool would remain at 13 points, effectively handing the Premier League title to the Reds.
If Arsenal manage to secure a victory against Palace, they would reduce their deficit to 10 points, but with a crucial caveat: they would have played one more game than Liverpool. This scenario increases the stakes for Liverpool, who have five matches left in the season.
To ensure their championship status, Liverpool would need to emerge victorious in their upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield next Sunday.
Should Arsenal only manage a draw against Palace, Liverpool would remain uncrowned champions as they would retain a 12-point lead.
Arsenal could still earn 12 more points in the remaining games, though, and would still be in the running.
Keep in mind that the Gunners would need to win every game they have left and pull off an incredible 10-goal goal differential swing to pass Liverpool if they made even a small mistake.
