Liverpool are within touching distance of securing the Premier League title after Virgil van Dijk’s late header earned the Reds a 2-1 win over West Ham at Anfield last weekend and could seal the deal as soon as today.
The Reds are now 13 points clear at the top after Arsenal dropped more points at home to Brentford last weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s side are only able to obtain a maximum of 81 points, with six games left to play. Liverpool are now up to 76 points, so they now need just six more to make mathematically certain of the title.
But it could be all over this Easter weekend…
When could Liverpool win the Premier League?
Two more wins would be enough for Liverpool to seal the title, even if Arsenal win all of their games.
Liverpool could even be crowned champions today if Arsenal lose their fixture at Ipswich (2pm KO), and Arne Slot’s side then see off Leicester (4.30pm KO) at the King Power Stadium on this Easter Sunday.
If Arsenal do not slip up, and Liverpool win their next two, the triumph would come against Tottenham at Anfield on 27 April. That’s then followed by a trip to Chelsea on Sunday 4 May.
It also likely that Liverpool could build a mathematically unassailable lead before facing the Gunners – leaving Arsenal potentially having to roll out the guard of honour for the Reds on 11 May.
