Liverpool can secure their record-equalling 20th Premier League title with a draw or win against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday, April 27.

Entering the match with a 12-point lead over second-place Arsenal and only five games remaining, the Reds require just one point to mathematically eliminate the Gunners’ nonexistent title hopes.

This scenario arose after Arsenal’s midweek 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace limited their maximum possible points to 79.

The title-clinching mechanics stem from Liverpool’s dominant campaign under Arne Slot, who has guided the team to 26 wins in 33 matches while averaging 2.39 points per game.

A draw would extend their unbeaten home run against Spurs to 16 matches across all competitions, and Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities—having already conceded 10 goals to Liverpool this season across league and cup fixtures—heighten the likelihood of a decisive result6.

Key to Liverpool’s approach will be Mohamed Salah, who has 15 career goals against Spurs and needs three more goal involvements to break the Premier League’s single-season record.

While Tottenham sit 16th after 18 league defeats, their Europa League semi-final commitments may lead to rotated selections, further tilting the balance.

Speaking in his pre-Tottenham Hotspur press conference, the Dutchman was quizzed on whether the Premier League has been weak this season:

“Everyone can have your opinion, and where we live it’s a positive thing you can share it with everyone.

As long as it comes from their own idea, that’s the nice thing,” he said.

“I can only tell you what I’ve experienced this season and can say it’s never been as exciting for a top-five finish.”

“In my opinion it’s a really difficult league, there’s not an easy game.

But that tells you something about us.”

“But we’re not the only team to find it hard to win a game by two or three goals?

Maybe Liverpool and City and Arsenals aren’t as good, or the other teams have got better.”
