As early as Wednesday evening, April 23, Liverpool might be formally declared the English Premier League’s 2024–2025 champions.
With a close but significant 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, Liverpool has cemented their leading position in the table and is now 13 points clear of second-place Arsenal.

With a forceful strike, Trent Alexander-Arnold dealt the game-ending blow, bringing Arne Slot’s team one step closer to their ultimate objective of winning the championship.

However, depending on how Arsenal’s encounter against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium goes later today, Liverpool’s title fate might be decided sooner rather than later.

The difference between Arsenal and Liverpool would still be 13 points if Arsenal falters and loses to Palace, so giving the Reds the Premier League title.

Arsenal’s deficit would drop to 10 points if they defeat Palace, but there would be a significant catch: they would have outplayed Liverpool by one game. With five games remaining in the season, this scenario raises the stakes for Liverpool.

Liverpool must win their next match against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday to guarantee their championship status.

Liverpool would still have a 12-point lead and would not be declared champions if Arsenal could only draw with Palace.

Arsenal could still earn 12 more points in the remaining games, though, and would still be in the running.

Keep in mind that the Gunners would need to win every game they have left and pull off an incredible 10-goal goal differential swing to pass Liverpool if they made even a small mistake.
