Liverpool will be hoping to secure a second Premier League title over the next few weeks.

The Reds have just eight top-flight fixtures left to play this season, during which time they will hope to get their hands on the top-flight title for the 20th time in the club's history.

Arne Slot's side are top of the table and have 73 points to their name after 30 matches, with a 12-point lead over Arsenal in second place.



This weekend will see Liverpool travel to face Fulham while the Gunners will also be on the road as they go to Goodison Park to take on Everton.

Victory over the Blues in the Merseyside derby at the weekend means that Liverpool need a maximum of just 13 points to be crowned Premier League champions.

As another weekend of top-flight football looms, a question many will be asking is when can the Reds officially win the league?

Well even if everything goes perfectly for Liverpool, they will still have to wait a few weeks to be confirmed as Premier League champions.

The earliest the Reds can win the league is on April 20, where they will face Leicester City.

This scenario is possible if Arsenal lose their next two matches against Fulham and Brentford, while Liverpool beat Fulham and West Ham.

If the Gunners were to then fail to beat Ipswich Town, the Reds would be confirmed as champions before kick-off against Leicester, which takes place on the same day.

If Arsenal were to get wins against Everton or Brentford then the title race would go on for a few more weeks.

If Liverpool were to match the Gunners' results for the rest of the season, the Reds could win the league away at Stamford Bridge when they face Chelsea on May 4.

With Liverpool also facing Arsenal in the run-in, it's also possible for the Reds to win the title when they take on their title rivals.

For this scenario to happen, Liverpool would need to have either a seven or nine-point lead going into the clash at Anfield on May 11, and then avoid defeat in the fixture.
