Arne Slot, Manger of Liverpool

Arne Slot did not have any expectations placed upon him to deliver a Premier League in his first season as Liverpool's head coach yet that is what he stands so close to achieving.

The odds fall incredibly in the Reds' favour with only six matches to go.

Last weekend's results saw Liverpool come out on top against West Ham - but only just - whilst rivals Arsenal faltered again in a draw with Brentford.



It meant the gap between first and second expanded to 13 points, leaving only six more for Slot's leaders to take before being mathematically confirmed as champions.

With that, Opta say it is a 99.87 percent likelihood the Premier League trophy ends up at Anfield - a fact that could be sealed on either the coming weekend or the next.

As it stands Liverpool have accumulated a total of 76 points and can reach a maximum of 94, meanwhile Arsenal have a lesser 63 points and can only reach 81.

In a dream scenario the Reds are able to end the title race this Sunday, April 20, at the soonest.

That is only made possible if the Gunners first lose to Ipswich Town in their 2pm kick-off and the Reds then follow up at 4:30pm with a win over Leicester City.

Being able to settle the debate once and for all against a side who have failed to win any of their last nine matches, failing to score in eight of those, is an almighty position to find oneself.

Except for Liverpool, they will find the Foxes in far from a charitable mood as their relegation to the Championship could be confirmed at the same time.

If Southampton take points from 17th-placed West Ham, it would be on Ruud van Nistelrooy's side to make their own fate.

Failing to beat the league leaders would bring about the end of their top-flight status.

Some on Merseyside may actually believe the favourable scenario for Liverpool is to win the title in front of their own supporters at Anfield.

Provided the points difference to Arsenal stays at 13 with Mikel Arteta's men beating Ipswich and Crystal Palace either side of a Reds win over Leicester, the definitive fixture will fall when Tottenham Hotspur visit on Sunday, April 27.

And of course the title race could yet extend into May were any Liverpool slip-ups to occur in a similar ilk to the one at Fulham.

Such a negative tone does not bare being set with this team firmly only track to become the champions of England for a record-equalling 20th time in history.
