The day when Liverpool might secure their record-tying 20th league title is not too far off, as they lead the table by 10 points with five competition weekends left. Arne Slot may soon get his first taste of triumph in the Anfield dugout after Arsenal defeated 10-man Ipswich Town to postpone Man City’s transfer of the Premier League trophy during the Easter weekend.
The nation’s greatest prize will soon return to Anfield, as they have already put their fingers around the renowned trophy. The permutations of when Liverpool could formally claim the Premier League title and who could have to give them a guard of honour have been worked out for Liverpool fans eager to learn when the probable will become the definite.
5. When Liverpool Can Win the Premier League Title Mathematically
To win the title, the Reds need to accumulate three more points from their final five games.
Slot’s team needs to gain three more points if Arsenal wins every game in order to secure championship status. With just one more victory standing between them and the top division of English football, that would allow the Reds to clinch the title on April 27 at Anfield against Tottenham.
There is a chance that Liverpool might win the title on Wednesday, which would be the earliest possible date. The Reds would win their 20th league title on April 23 if Mikel Arteta’s team lost their upcoming match against Crystal Palace at home.
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 nine 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 Might Be Required to Present a Guard of Honour to Liverpool
By the time they play each other again, Arsenal might have to settle for less.
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 23. 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.
It is anticipated that the trophy will be paraded across the city on the following Bank Holiday Monday, which is one day later. Liverpool City Council is already getting ready for the anticipated one million spectators on May 26.
