Liverpool is on the verge of clinching the English Premier League title?

But when can we expect them to lift the coveted trophy?

The Reds are closing in on their first Premier League title in five years.

With just four matches remaining, they are within touching distance of the trophy.

The team, led by Arne Slot, has been in outstanding form all season, but there’s still work to be done.

A win or even a draw against Tottenham at Anfield this Sunday would put them in a position to claim the crown.

The excitement in Merseyside is palpable.

Fans are ready to celebrate a title that has been so elusive since 2020.

However, the club remains grounded, and the manager isn’t letting the hype distract him.

Despite the massive achievement waiting on the horizon, Slot insists that Liverpool cannot afford to take their foot off the pedal.

With Tottenham visiting, he knows they cannot take anything for granted.

“It’s a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact the last time this club won the league it was Covid so everyone is looking forward to Sunday,” Slot said in the pre-match press conference.

But despite the tension, he’s not letting himself think about the celebrations just yet.

“I get these questions and then it comes to your mind, of course,” he admits, “But that’s the last thing you think about as a manager at this point of time.”

Liverpool’s captain, Virgil van Dijk, won’t be lifting the trophy this weekend, even if the title is secured.

As tradition dictates, the Premier League trophy is presented to the champions on their final home match of the season.

For Liverpool, that game will be on May 25 against Crystal Palace.

“We still need a point, we are definitely still aware within this building,” Slot said, emphasizing that the job isn’t done yet.

The title celebrations will surely come soon after that, but for now, Liverpool’s focus is on securing that crucial point on Sunday.

Only then will they be able to officially raise the trophy in front of their fans – something they were denied in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.

And while the team remains focused on the task at hand, the anticipation of that final moment is growing stronger each day.
