Arne Slot stands on the brink of history, with Liverpool set to seal the Premier League title.

The Dutch boss has worked wonders on Merseyside, and the Reds can wrap up the crown as early as today (April 27) against Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur.

It's been a memorable season at Anfield, and with skipper Virgil van Dijk and talisman Mo Salah both inking new deals, fans will have dreams about making it a double with victory next season too.

But having been locked out of the celebrations after their 2020 title win, Reds will find this result extra sweet - especially as it draws them level on league titles with their bitter rivals Manchester United, who are mired in mid-table obscurity.

But boss Slot is taking nothing for granted, saying: ""In my opinion, it's a really difficult league because that's what I've experienced over here, there's never been an easy game.

It's always been very hard to win a game of football.

"We are not the only team in this league who find it difficult to win a game by three or four goals.

That was maybe easier two, three, four or five years ago.

"Either the teams are not so good any more - the Liverpools, the Manchester Citys and the Arsenals - or we are still very good but the other teams have the funds to spend just as much or, in some situations, even more."

It couldn't be any simpler for Reds fans, avoid defeat against Spurs and the side will be crowned Premier League champions officially.

Unofficially the title is already in the bag, with Arne Slot's men holding a 12 point advantage over Arsenal with four games to play - and boasting a far better goal difference.

But party time can get underway for good just 6pm on Merseyside if defeat is avoided.

And given Spurs haven't won at Anfield since 2011, and have bigger fish to fry in the Europa League, the omens are good.

Just because the title is in the bag however, doesn't mean that Virgil van Dijk will get his hands on silverware.

Far from it actually, he'll have to wait almost a month.

That's because it's Premier League tradition to award the trophy after the last home league match of the season, meaning the Reds fans will finally get to see their side lift the iconic cup after they play Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25.

We all remember where we were the last time Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy.

Because it was lockdown.

This will be the second title the Reds have lifted since the English top tier was rebranded in the early 1990s, but it'll be their 20th overall league crown.
