Liverpool closing on Premier League title
The Premier League title race looks all but over with Liverpool 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal and just nine games of the season remaining.
Liverpool have won 21 of their 29 matches in the league with just one loss to their name.
Arne Slot’s side need another 16 points out of the 27 available to guarantee a second Premier League title.
The earliest date that Liverpool could win the title is when they host West Ham on Sunday, April 13.
If the title race could be wrapped up early, then the battle to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League looks set to go down to the wire.
Just five points currently separate fourth-placed Chelsea with Bournemouth in 10th.
Manchester City are one point behind Chelsea in fifth, which looks set to be good enough to secure a Champions League spot next season.
