Liverpool's points tally come the end of the season has been predicted(Image: James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images)

Liverpool are seriously in cruise control to win the English league title for the 20th time in the club's history.

Sitting 11 points ahead of current runners-up Arsenal following a weekend of favourable results, Arne Slot's side are almost on the home stretch.

It makes it all the more impressive that the head coach has overseen such a seamless transition of power from Jurgen Klopp to station Liverpool well ahead of reigning champions Manchester City and their closest challengers, albeit with the Gunners holding a game in hand.



Even if Slot is inexperienced in the ways of the Premier League, he has proven he knows the reality of the current situation.

"I don't think I need to even enforce that message," he said on Tuesday as a vote of confidence in his squad not losing any focus between now and May.

"These players played the Forest home game, Fulham home game, United at home and Newcastle away, which was a very difficult game for us.

Having got that extra assignment out of the way before next month's Carabao Cup final, their rivals have 12 to go.

Home advantage is set to give them a huge boost towards the title - especially with Arsenal still to visit Anfield - and with a current tally of 64 points it is Opta's expectation that the team will end the season with an average 88.38 points.

That means from a possible 33 points left to play for, the Reds will take 24.

Mathematically this would hint that there are matches to be lost - something that has only happened once already in the league this year.

The toughest to come are seemingly the Gunners' visit in May, a trip to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea the week before and April's home Merseyside derby against Everton.

In comparison Opta expect Arsenal to only accumulate 77.43 points on average after 38 matches, meaning the 11-point gap would stand as it does now.

Results like last weekend's defeat to West Ham at the Emirates Stadium ultimately get punished.

Opta's data also states that prior to playing Newcastle United on Wednesday Liverpool have a 96.63 percent chance of lifting the Premier League trophy this season.
