ToggleWith 70 points after 29 games, Liverpool are now well-placed to secure the title, needing just 16 points from the remaining nine games to guarantee the championship. Even with Arsenal’s current ability to reach a maximum of 85 points if they win all their remaining fixtures, the gap is significant, and the Reds are edging ever closer to their record-matching 20th Premier League crown.

The question now is: when can they mathematically seal the deal?
The earliest possible date for Liverpool to clinch the title is April 13, when they face West Ham at Anfield. For that to happen, Arsenal would need to lose their next two games, against Fulham and Everton, while the Reds win theirs against the same opponents, albeit with the Merseyside derby first. Arsenal would then be 18 points back, meaning a loss to Brentford in their next fixture would allow Liverpool to win the league by taking a point against the Hammers.
Liverpool’s schedule in the lead-up to May could prove favourable as they face just one team currently in the top half of the table — Fulham. Moreover, they will be playing three of their five Premier League matches at Anfield, which is a massive bonus. If Liverpool do win the title against the Irons, Arsenal may be forced into giving their rivals a guard of honour when the two sides meet on May 10.
Liverpool face Everton in a Merseyside derby on Wednesday before taking on Fulham at the weekend.
