Gary Lineker has offered a definitive judgement on Liverpool's Premier League title chances following the triumph against Newcastle United.

This victory widened the Reds' buffer over second-placed Arsenal to 13 points, further bolstered by the Gunners' stalemate with Nottingham Forest.

As the season hastens towards its climax, Liverpool has just 10 league games remaining, while Arsenal has 11, with six of the Reds' duels set for Anfield.

When the latest rendering of the Premier League standings flickered onto the Match of the Day screen after recapping both Liverpool and Arsenal's most recent outings, Lineker couldn't help but comment on the state of the title race, asserting: "And there it is – it's less of a title race and more of a procession, isn't it.

Yet another dominant, indomitable, dynamic display.

He then turned to Danny Murphy, hinting at the Reds' current form: "Liverpool appears to be running away with this title race, Danny."

With that win tucked under their belt, Liverpool's focus shifts to European competition, as it gears up for a clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 next week.

Arne Slot's side will then switch back to domestic duties the weekend after, facing Southampton in the Premier League.

Murphy added: "It was classy, controlled, measured

In March we only play one Premier League game - so we are not focused on the long term.

"Now the players have some days off and then we focus on Paris St-Germain [in the Champions League] more than we do on the table in the Premier League."
