Liverpool is closing in on clinching the Premier League title for the first time since the 2019-20 season, currently boasting a towering 12-point lead over Arsenal with just five matches remaining in the season.

Liverpool can confirm their championship this weekend, depending on the results of their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. A draw will widen the gap to 13 points between them and second-placed Arsenal, making it mathematically impossible for Arsenal to catch up.

Remaining Schedule for Liverpool:

• April 27: Liverpool vs. Tottenham Hotspur, 11:30 a.m.
• May 4: Chelsea vs. Liverpool, 11:30 a.m.
• May 11: Liverpool vs. Arsenal, 11:30 a.m.
• May 19: Brighton vs. Liverpool, 3 p.m.
• May 25: Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace, 11 a.m.

Scenarios for Winning the Title

If Liverpool secures a victory or even a draw against Tottenham, they will decisively hold the title, extending their lead and concluding their title chase as they embark on the final stretch of the season.

If the match against Tottenham results in a draw, they can still clinch the championship with a draw against Chelsea on May 4, regardless of Arsenal’s performance that weekend.

Guard of Honor

While not obligatory, it is customary for teams to perform a guard of honor for the newly crowned champions. This could potentially see Arsenal, Liverpool’s title contenders this season, honored in such a way during their encounter at Anfield, although that would defer the Reds’ quest for the title momentarily.
