The Reds still need a maximum of three points to win the title. With an arsenal mistake, it could also be enough.
FC Liverpool could be on Wednesday on the couch of English champions. In the event of a surprising defeat by the only remaining competitor FC Arsenal in the home game against Crystal Palace (9:00 p.m./Sky), the 20th title would be fixed prematurely. “I am definitely looking forward to next week because I am assuming Arsenal because they are such a good team, can win during the week,” said team manager Arne Slot.
He believes that his team “probably has to do it himself and the first chance we have is against Tottenham next week,” he explained. A victory against the Spurs on the Anfield Road on Sunday (5:30 p.m./Sky) would be enough to championship regardless of Arsenal’s result. In the case of five outstanding games, Liverpool is currently 13 points ahead of the Gunners, on Sunday there was a 1-0 (0-0) at relegated Leicester City.
In general, the time of the title is secondary, emphasized Slot: “The only thing the fans want is that we win the league. After a championship title in 35 years, in which they were not involved. They were involved, but not as much as they probably wanted it.” Therefore, it is now becoming something special for players and supporters. Trent Alexander-Arnold even spoke of an upcoming “moment for eternity”.
With their 20th title, the Reds would catch up with record champions Manchester United. But you shouldn’t be happy. “What I know from my time at Feyenoord is that there is of course a lot of noise and everyone is very excited,” said Slot with a view to the upcoming crowning glory. His team must remain “fully concentrated” and prepare for the upcoming opponent Tottenham as always.
