Liverpool might have lost against Fulham over the weekend but Arne Slot's side is still set to cruise towards the Premier League title.

It doesn't take much of a blip — one Premier League defeat — for the questions to get louder.

The reality is that Liverpool fans won't care if the perception is that the league was weaker this season as they delight in the celebrations.



Only five teams have ever got more than that — two of which are Liverpool (in 2018/19, when it came second, and 2019/20, when it ended its three-decade drought).

In truth, Slot and his players won't be thinking about the desperate attempts to do down their achievements as they kickstart what will be a glorious celebration of a league title triumph
