Liverpool are on the verge of Premier League glory, and the equation is now beautifully simple: avoid defeat at Anfield this Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur, and the Reds will be crowned English champions for the 20th time.
The dramatic 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Crystal Palace earlier this week did more than just disappoint Gunners fans it cracked open the door for Liverpool to mathematically seal the title with four games to spare. The result leaves Arsenal trailing Liverpool by 12 points, and while they still have four games left to play, Liverpool’s superior goal difference and consistent form make the path to the trophy clear.
The Scenarios: What Needs to Happen
If Liverpool draw or win against Spurs on Sunday, the title is theirs. It’s that straightforward.
Should they lose to Tottenham, the title celebration would be delayed but only temporarily. Liverpool would still have another chance to clinch the crown the following weekend when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on May 4.
Adding to the anticipation, the Premier League has penciled in May 25 as the date for the official trophy presentation at Anfield, after Liverpool’s final home fixture against Crystal Palace. If they wrap things up this weekend, the remaining matches will become a victory tour for Arne Slot’s side and an early crowning achievement for the Dutchman in his debut season at the helm.
Slot's Instant Impact
Replacing a legendary figure like Jürgen Klopp is never an easy task, but Arne Slot has managed to maintain Liverpool’s identity while injecting renewed energy into the squad. His pressing philosophy, tactical clarity, and rotation of key players like Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alexis Mac Allister have paid off handsomely.
This potential title win would mark Slot’s first major trophy with the club and solidify Liverpool's return to dominance after a transitional period following their 2019–20 title triumph.
What Comes Next
If Liverpool do clinch the title this Sunday, they are likely to receive guards of honor from their remaining league opponents a traditional gesture of respect that underscores just how dominant they’ve been this campaign. And make no mistake, this has been a championship earned through grit, balance, and brilliance across the pitch.
The Anfield faithful will be ready. The banners are unfurled, the songs rehearsed. All that remains is 90 minutes against Spurs 90 minutes that could etch Arne Slot’s name into Liverpool history and spark a celebration long in the making.
