Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday night solidified the Reds’ lead in the Premier League standings. Arne Slot’s team has an unbeatable 12-point advantage with eight games remaining. They have already played as many games as Arsenal and have eight games left.
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 Can Mathematically Win Premier League Title
The Reds need 13 more points from eight games to claim the crown
Slot’s team needs to accumulate 13 more points if Arsenal wins every game in order to secure title status. If such were the case, the Reds would be able to win the championship on May 4 at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, a team they have a lengthy relationship with after facing the Blues three times in the previous three years at Wembley Stadium.
There is a chance that Liverpool might win the title in less than three weeks, which would be the earliest possible time. According to the Premier League website, should Mikel Arteta’s already precarious Arsenal lose their next two games to Everton and Brentford, the Reds would win their 20th league title after their match against Leicester, which is appropriately scheduled for April 20. This is assuming they win that match as well as their two previous games against Fulham and West Ham.
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 creating Premier League history, as Manchester United currently holds the record for the earliest date to win the title, having done it on April 14 of the 2000–01 season.
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 be in line to present Liverpool with a guard of honour to congratulate them on winning the title if they were to be declared winners on April 20. With the two clubs set to face at Anfield on May 10, the Gunners would regrettably be among the teams in question.
This is not the first time Arsenal has had to perform for the Reds; 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. Slot’s team then 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.
