Liverpool Near Their 20th Premier League Title After Arsenal's Stumble
It’s almost written in the stars for Liverpool. Arsenal’s late-season stumble might just have handed the Reds a golden chance to claim their 20th league title in front of their fans. Wednesday's 1-1 draw between Arsenal and Crystal Palace isn’t just another result—it’s the one that changed everything. Now, Liverpool sit on 79 points and have five matches left, while Arsenal’s maximum possible tally is also 79. That means a single point in any of Liverpool's remaining games will make it mathematically impossible for Arsenal to catch them.
Let’s put it simply: if Liverpool get at least a draw against Tottenham on Sunday at Anfield, they’ll clinch the trophy then and there. In the last three seasons, Spurs have turned up at Anfield and left empty-handed. In fact, you have to go back to May 2011 to find the last time Tottenham won a league match in front of the Kop. There’s a 15-game unbeaten streak for Liverpool against Tottenham at home, which makes their fans pretty optimistic for Sunday’s showdown. And with the league title on the line, nobody expects them to take their foot off the gas.
Crunch Time at Anfield: Liverpool’s Stars Ready to Seal the Deal
Stars like Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker have stepped up when it matters most. Salah’s knack for scoring critical goals and Alisson’s consistency between the posts have been massive reasons the Reds are so close to glory. The squad’s mix of experience and young talent have turned them into a relentless force, especially under pressure. The mood around Melwood is laser-focused, but there's plenty of confidence too.
If Liverpool stumble and fail to get a result against Spurs, the title race doesn't end there. The next big chance would be against Chelsea, again at Anfield, next weekend. But all eyes are on Sunday, where the home crowd will be hoping for a title party instead of sweaty palms and calculators. Right now, their superior goal difference offers another safety net, meaning Arsenal winning all their games wouldn’t matter unless Liverpool completely unravel in the final stretch—which, based on the formbook, doesn’t look likely.
For Arsenal, this is a bitter blow. They had hopes of forcing the race to the wire, but dropped points have all but killed their hopes. Even if they win every remaining game, catching Liverpool is now out of their hands. Fans in North London will be rueing their team’s slip-ups, while Merseysiders are barely able to contain the excitement as their team stands on the edge of history.
