Liverpool’s Title Charge: When Can They Be Crowned Premier League Champions | OneFootball

Liverpool’s Relentless March Towards Premier League Glory

In a season where Liverpool have exhibited unwavering dominance, their recent 2-0 triumph over Newcastle United at Anfield has further solidified their position at the Premier League’s summit. Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister propelled the Reds to a commanding 13-point lead, intensifying the pressure on their closest rivals.

Arsenal’s Stuttering Pursuit

Arsenal’s aspirations for the title have encountered significant hurdles. A surprising home defeat to West Ham United was compounded by a lacklustre 0-0 stalemate against Nottingham Forest. These setbacks have widened the chasm between the Gunners and Liverpool, leaving Mikel Arteta’s side with an arduous task to bridge the gap.

The Road Ahead: Key Fixtures and Potential Outcomes

With ten matches remaining, Liverpool’s path to the title appears increasingly unassailable. Notably, six of these fixtures are set to be played at Anfield, a fortress where the Reds have been imperious. One of the pivotal encounters includes a home game against Arsenal, presenting an opportunity to further assert their dominance.

Arsenal, possessing a game in hand, theoretically can amass a maximum of 87 points this season. For Liverpool, this translates to requiring 21 points from their remaining fixtures to clinch the title definitively. Given their superior goal difference, even 20 points might suffice.

Should both teams maintain their current trajectories, Liverpool could potentially secure the championship during their home fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on April 26. Alternatively, if Arsenal were to capitalise on their game in hand against Chelsea, the Reds might be crowned champions during their subsequent match at Chelsea on May 3.

The earliest conceivable date for Liverpool to claim the title is April 5, contingent upon a series of favourable results, including Arsenal dropping points in challenging fixtures against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Fulham. Achieving the title by this date would not only match the record for the earliest Premier League title win but also set a new benchmark for the earliest calendar date of triumph.

As the season approaches its climax, the footballing community keenly anticipates whether Liverpool will maintain their relentless momentum and etch their name into the annals of Premier League history once more.
