What does Liverpool need to oppose Tottenham Hotspur to be crowned Premier League champions
Liverpool are destined to win the second Premier League title for some time, but their fate can be mathematically confirmed this weekend.
When Tottenham arrived at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, eight months of hard work could be rewarded, while the home crowd desperately wanted to block silverware in style to fight the struggling Spurs.
Liverpool supporters are unable to celebrate their previous Premier League victory in 2019/20, a result of the Covid-19 pandemic that restricts gatherings, but more corrections will be made this time to honor their title.
This is how the Reds can end on Sunday.
Liverpool's mission against the Spurs once again witnessed Arsenal stumble again on Wednesday, their mission was simple. The Reds only need one point to secure the crown, which means that even a draw at Anfield this Sunday will guarantee their championship.
Given that the Spurs' performance is a desperate Premier League and prepares for the crucial first leg of the Europa League semi-finals for the upcoming Thursday, Liverpool will be a strong favorite to win on Sunday. Avoiding failure, it's all they have to do at the lowest point, which seems inevitable.
But if the Spurs shock the Anfield crowd, Liverpool will be forced to wait until next weekend to win the championship. They face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for weeks, but will be crowned the champion the day before if Arsenal fails to beat Bournemouth.
Liverpool currently leads the division with 79 points, with five games remaining, meaning they can accumulate a total of 94 points if they win the rest of the 2024/25 conflict.
If they earn the highest points for the rest of the semester, Arne Slot's side will score the sixth highest score in Premier League history and the fifth highest score of the winning team – Liverpool cruelly scored 97 points without finishing the first place in 2018/19.
However, this is only Liverpool's third-highest total, which is due to the aforementioned 97 points, which was then returned at 99 points in the 2019/20 season, when they finally won the first Premier League era title.
Liverpool can win the title in front of Anfield Crowdon on Sunday, but they will have to wait for the trophy. The Reds will receive their prize money after the final match of the Premier League season on Sunday, May 25.
The Reds will then enjoy the first Premier League Trophy Parade, canceling the last trophy in 2020 and are expected to take place on Monday, May 26, with a British bank holiday.
This season is only the second champion of the Premier League era since 1992, but Liverpool is ranked 20th overall. This is important because it equals the historic English record currently owned by fierce Northwest rival Manchester United.
Liverpool's next title will be their 21st place, and assuming it is ahead of Manchester United – likely to restore their status as England's most successful league club, from the early 1970s to 2011, before lasting nearly four decades.
The club won its first ever British League title at the end of the 1900/01 season, winning sporadic success until Bill Shankly arrived in 1959, which sparked several consecutive dynasties that occupied the domestic football scene for the next 30 years.
