Liverpool supporters will be expressing their gratitude to Manchester United collectively after the Red Devils held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw on Sunday night, solidifying the Merseysiders’ lead in the Premier League standings. You won’t hear this much. Arne Slot’s team has one more game than the Gunners, and with nine games remaining, they have an unbeatable 15-point lead.
The nation’s greatest prize will soon return to Anfield, as they have already put their fingers around the renowned trophy. It has been determined when Liverpool may formally claim the Premier League title and who might have to offer them a guard of honour, which has Liverpool fans eager to learn when the probable will become the definite.
When Liverpool Could Mathematically Win Premier League Title
The Reds need 16 more points to claim the crown
Slot’s team needs to accumulate 16 more points if Arsenal wins every game in order to secure championship status. If such were the case, the Reds would be able to win the title on May 3rd at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, a team with whom they had a contentious match following their most recent victory, with Jurgen Klopp and Frank Lampard arguing on the sidelines.
There is a chance that Liverpool might win the title in less than a month, which would be the earliest possible time. According to TBR Football, if Mikel Arteta’s already precarious Arsenal team loses their next three games to London rivals Chelsea and Fulham as well as Liverpool’s bitterest rival Everton, the Reds will win their 20th league title after their match against Leicester, which is appropriately scheduled for April 20th.
Since Slot and his coaching staff would still have five Premier League games left to play, it would solidify what has already been an amazing inaugural season. Slot would be just six days away from making history, as Manchester United currently holds the record for the earliest date to win the Premier League, having done it on April 14, 2000–01.
The Teams That May Have to Give Liverpool a Guard of Honour
Arsenal may have to eat humble pie by the time the two sides next meet
Five teams would line up to present Liverpool with a guard of honour in order to congratulate them on winning the title if they were to be named winners on April 20. The two sides are slated to meet on May 10th, and the Gunners would regrettably be one of the teams in doubt.
This is not the first time Arsenal has had to perform for the Reds either; Mikel Arteta was present when his team honoured Klopp’s 2020 title winners, which included former star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who stumbled onto the pitch as his former teammates cheered him on.

Tottenham and Chelsea, the other teams that might have to do this, would also be in queue before the match against Arsenal. After that, Slot’s squad plays Crystal Palace and Brighton to wrap out their domestic campaign. Since the season’s last game at Anfield occurs after the match versus the Eagles, the trophy celebration would follow.
