Liverpool stand on the cusp of clinching a historic top-flight title, and their recent 2-0 win over Newcastle has only fueled the belief that Anfield will soon erupt in celebration. They’re 13 points clear, and even the most cautious supporters admit it’s getting harder to deny the momentum. Gary Lineker put it bluntly, “It’s becoming less of a title race and more of a procession.”
The math is simple enough. Liverpool need 21 points from their final 10 matches to guarantee they finish above Arsenal, whose own wobbles have left them with little margin for error. If Arsenal drop a few more points, there’s an outside chance Liverpool could seal the title as early as April 5. That would require Arsenal losing four straight and Liverpool winning their next three. More realistic chatter points to late April, possibly against Tottenham on the 26th, if Arsenal struggle in the meantime.
“It is still a long way to go,” manager Arne Slot cautioned. “We focus on the Champions League more than the table in the Premier League.” Yet the relaxed tone from Liverpool’s camp suggests confidence is running high. Mohamed Salah‘s growing tally of goals and assists, Dominik Szoboszlai’s bright creativity, and a deep bench that rarely stumbles have given fans every reason to believe.
Mikel Arteta, still refusing to concede, told reporters, “It would be over my dead body.” But even he knows how slim Arsenal’s hopes are. One more bad result, and the conversation shifts from dreams of catching Liverpool to fighting off other teams for second place. Arsenal’s once-promising surge has fizzled under a wave of injuries and misfires in front of goal.
Can Liverpool complete the EPL title in record time?
Some fans remember their team locking up the title with seven matches to spare back in 2019–20. Although repeating that exact feat will take a lot of help from Arsenal’s opponents, the possibility remains. A few slip-ups from Arsenal and Liverpool’s consistent form might see the trophy in Merseyside hands before May arrives.
Still, nobody at Anfield is celebrating just yet. Players are quick to remind everyone that 10 matches can turn a season on its head. Supporters, however, are already wondering if Arsenal might have to form a guard of honor when the two teams meet in May. Many are hoping it won’t even come to that, because by then the title might be signed, sealed, and delivered.
At this stage, it’s clear that only a dramatic turn of events will stop Liverpool. Even the staunchest rivals admit the gap looks insurmountable. As Lineker said, this is less race, more coronation. All that’s left is to pinpoint the date.
