Liverpool’s commanding 15-point lead at the Premier League summit has fans eagerly anticipating the moment they can officially celebrate their team’s second Premier League title.
Under the astute management of Arne Slot, the Reds have showcased exceptional form this season, positioning themselves on the brink of clinching the championship.
Earliest Potential Title Win
If Liverpool continue their winning streak in the next two fixtures—a Merseyside derby at Anfield followed by an away match against Fulham—and Arsenal, along with Nottingham Forest, suffer defeats in their next four games, Liverpool could be crowned champions as early as 12 April.
This would set a new record for the earliest Premier League title win, surpassing Manchester United’s achievement on 14 April 2001.
Likely Scenarios for Title Confirmation
To secure the title, Liverpool need to accumulate 16 points from their remaining ten matches.
Assuming Arsenal wins their next six fixtures—a challenging prospect given their recent struggles—and Liverpool secures five consecutive victories, the Reds could clinch the championship by avoiding defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in early May.
Alternatively, should Arsenal lose their upcoming London derby against Chelsea—a match that serves as their game in hand while Liverpool competes in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United—and both teams mirror each other’s results thereafter,
Liverpool could officially seal the title with a victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on 27 April.
Remaining Fixtures for Liverpool and Arsenal
Both Liverpool and Arsenal have pivotal matches ahead that could influence the title race. Fulham and Everton are set to play significant roles, facing both title contenders in the coming weeks.
Notably, Liverpool is scheduled to host Arsenal in mid-May, a fixture that may have little bearing on the title outcome if the current points gap persists.
