Liverpool took another step toward Premier League glory with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle, extending their lead at the top to 13 points. With Arsenal only managing a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, the Gunners now sit six points ahead of third-placed Forest but far behind Liverpool.
For Arsenal to deny Liverpool the title, they would need an incredible winning streak while hoping for a dramatic collapse from the Reds. Given Liverpool’s consistency—they’ve lost just once all season—this scenario seems highly unlikely.
The earliest possible date for Liverpool to secure the Premier League title is April 5. For this to happen, they must win their next three games against Southampton, Everton, and Fulham, while Arsenal must lose all four of their upcoming fixtures against Manchester United, Chelsea, Fulham, and Everton.
While Arsenal losing four consecutive matches is improbable, Liverpool fans will be watching closely, hoping for a dramatic turn of events. If the title race remains open beyond April 5, Liverpool could still wrap it up by April 19 against Leicester or April 26 when they host Tottenham.
Another possibility is a title-deciding clash against Arsenal at Anfield on May 10, potentially sealing Liverpool’s triumph with two matches still to play. Regardless of when they clinch it, the trophy presentation will take place at Anfield on May 25, following their final home game against Crystal Palace.
Despite Liverpool’s comfortable league position, manager Arne Slot remains focused on upcoming Champions League fixtures. Speaking after the Newcastle win, Slot stated, “I don’t think about the title right now. My focus is on PSG. They’re in incredible form, just like us, and that’s my main concern.”
Liverpool face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16, with the first leg set for March 5. Their league ambitions remain in sight, but for now, European success is also on their radar. Follow SoftFootball for more updates on Liverpool’s title chase and Champions League campaign.
