Liverpool are closing in on their 20th English league title as they continue to dominate the Premier League under Arne Slot. Sitting comfortably at the top of the table with a 15-point lead, the Reds are on the verge of clinching the trophy. Their 3-1 victory over Southampton, combined with Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United, has strengthened their grip on the title race.
With only nine games left in the season, history suggests the title is practically secured. No team has ever failed to win the Premier League with such a commanding lead at this stage. The only question now is when the reds will be officially crowned champions.
How Soon Can Liverpool Secure the Title?
Several scenarios could determine when the Reds will officially claim the Premier League title.
The earliest possible date for Liverpool to be confirmed as champions is April 12. However, for this to happen, they must win their next two games against Everton and Fulham, while Arsenal must lose to Chelsea, Fulham, and Everton, and also drop points against Brentford.
If Arsenal win their game in hand against Chelsea but fail to match Liverpool’s results in the coming weeks, the Reds could seal the title on April 27 when they host Tottenham at Anfield.
Another scenario could see Liverpool claim the title on May 3 or 4 when they play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge if Arsenal manage to match their results up to that point.

A dramatic possibility could also unfold on May 10 when Liverpool host Arsenal. If the Reds enter that match with at least a seven-point lead and win, they would officially become champions.
Regardless of when Liverpool secure the title, the Premier League trophy presentation will not take place until their final home game of the season against Crystal Palace on May 25.
Liverpool’s Remaining Fixtures and Potential Title-Deciding Games
Liverpool’s final nine Premier League matches are as follows:
- March 16 – Everton (A)
- March 30 – Fulham (H)
- April 6 – Nottingham Forest (A)
- April 12 – Sheffield United (H)
- April 21 – West Ham (A)
- April 27 – Tottenham (H)
- May 3/4 – Chelsea (A)
- May 10 – Arsenal (H)
- May 19 – Crystal Palace (H)
If Liverpool maintain their current form, the title race could be wrapped up well before their final matches, making the remaining fixtures a formality.
Liverpool’s Record-Breaking Season
Liverpool’s dominance this season has been extraordinary. Under Arne Slot, they have combined attacking firepower with defensive resilience, producing consistent performances throughout the campaign. Mohamed Salah has once again been a key figure, while Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai have played crucial roles in their success.
This season could also be historic in terms of records. If the Reds continue their impressive form, they could challenge Manchester City’s 100-point record from 2017/18. Additionally, they have a chance to win the title with the biggest margin in Premier League history, surpassing City’s 19-point gap from the same season.
Liverpool Fans Set for a Historic Title Celebration
For the Reds supporters, this title will be especially meaningful as it will be the first time since 1990 that they can celebrate a Premier League triumph inside Anfield.
Their last league title in 2020 was won behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, depriving fans of the chance to witness the moment in person. This time, Anfield will be packed with supporters celebrating their team’s achievement.
Mohamed Salah, who has been pivotal to Liverpool’s success, has expressed his desire to win the title again so that he can experience the celebrations with the fans.
“For seven years, I always said the Champions League was the biggest trophy I wanted to win. But this season, the Premier League is my biggest motivation. I want to celebrate with the fans, experience that day, and have a parade in the city—it would be incredible.”

Can Arsenal Still Challenge Liverpool?
While it is mathematically possible, Arsenal’s chances of overtaking Liverpool are incredibly slim.
The Gunners have ten matches remaining, and to surpass the Reds, they would need to win all of them while hoping the Reds lose at least five of their last nine games. Given Liverpool’s dominance this season, this scenario appears highly unlikely.
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard acknowledged the challenge, stating that while his team will continue fighting, Liverpool are in a commanding position.
“We will fight until the end, but we know Liverpool are in a strong position. All we can do is keep winning and see what happens.”
Arne Slot’s Tactical Brilliance
Liverpool’s impressive season is even more remarkable considering the managerial transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot. The Dutchman has successfully maintained the team’s intensity while introducing his own tactical philosophy, ensuring that they remain the strongest side in the league.
Slot has managed the squad effectively, keeping players fresh despite Liverpool’s commitments on multiple fronts. His tactical flexibility in midfield and defense has allowed the team to dominate both possession-based play and high-intensity pressing.
With experienced leaders like Salah and Van Dijk, combined with emerging stars such as Szoboszlai and Jarell Quansah, the Reds appear to be building a team capable of sustained success beyond this season.
Final Thoughts
Liverpool’s Premier League triumph is now a matter of when, not if. With a commanding lead, they could be crowned champions as early as April 12 or as late as May 10, depending on how results unfold.
Regardless of the exact date,the Reds fans are finally set to experience the title celebrations they were denied in 2020. And with the Reds continuing to dominate under Arne Slot, they may be on the verge of establishing a new era of dominance in English football.
