How Liverpool can win the Premier League title on Sunday

In just his first season in charge, Arne Slot has Liverpool on the brink of winning the Premier League.

Only one player was added to the squad last summer, but the team has surpassed all expectations this season.

Arsenal were expected to win the league, hoping to go one better than their two previous attempts where they came second to Manchester City, but Liverpool rose from the ashes of a third-place finish last season to overtake them.

The last few weeks have been about calculating how many points the Reds would need to mathematically secure the title, while accounting for the number of games left and Liverpool's head-to-head clash with Arsenal next month.

But we have finally reached the precipice of the finishing line and it could all be over this Sunday.

Liverpool's title win could happen this Sunday

The current gap between the Reds and the Gunners is 13 points, with six games left - a maximum of 18 points left to play for.

Liverpool need two wins (six points) to put themselves on 82 points, which would put them out of Arsenal's reach as they could only make it to a possible 81 points if the remaining games were won.

However, this Sunday, Arsenal play before Liverpool, and if their trip to Ipswich Town ends up in a loss, then they will remain on 63 points - still 13 points behind - with only 15 more to play for, meaning the Reds would sit three points away.

Later that day, Slot's side travel to Leicester City and a win there would wrap up the season-long race.

Both matches will be clashes that Liverpool and Arsenal expect to win. After all, the two relegation-threatened teams have a mere eight wins between them from 64 games.

And if the two most likely results were to come to fruition, then Liverpool would need to win at Anfield next week against Tottenham - a result that would secure the Premier League regardless of what Arsenal deliver against Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

This latter scenario will of course be the one that appeals most to the fans, who would finally be able to celebrate a title win with the players, as supposed to the 2019/20 win that was celebrated under Covid-19 preventative measures.

But one thing will be clear in Slot and the player's minds - secure the win as soon as possible, and if the Red's competitors give them a helping hand, then we could see the team over the line on Sunday.
