Premier League schedule: Need 1 more point to win the championship, Liverpool has an overwhelming season

Liverpool equals record of 20 Premier League titles with MU

Liverpool will be crowned champions with four games to spare after their closest rivals Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace on April 24 in the early game of round 34 of the Premier League. Coach Arne Slot's team will have an easy task of just one more point against Tottenham.

The Reds have all the advantages, including home ground, stable form, and a squad in top form. Meanwhile, Tottenham's mind is now focused on the Europa League, where Ange Postecoglou's team still has a chance to win the title and qualify for next season's Champions League. Spurs are currently 16th in the Premier League, but are already safe from relegation. All that's left for the North London team is to focus on the upcoming two Europa League semi-finals against Norway's Bodo/Glimt, with the first leg taking place at 2am on May 2 and the return leg at the same time on May 9.

Therefore, Liverpool even aimed for a resounding victory to crown the championship in the most spectacular way at home at Anfield. In the most recent Premier League championship and the first time in 30 years, the 2019-2020 season under coach Jurgen Klopp, the "Red Brigade" won the championship in a time without spectators due to the impact of the pandemic.

This is also an extremely meaningful championship, when Liverpool will officially equal the record of 20 Premier League championships with their arch-rivals MU. This message also affirms that Liverpool's dynasty once dominated English football, but declined since the transition to the Premier League era. Now they have caught up with their rivals and will return to dominate once again.

Winning the championship in his first season at Liverpool, what does coach Arne Slot have to prove?

Replacing coach Jurgen Klopp in doubt, after Liverpool had to constantly bow down to a superior Man.City, very few people believed that coach Arne Slot would make a difference. Notably, there were seasons under coach Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool won up to 97 points (2018-2019 season) and 92 points (2021-2022 season), but both finished second, losing to Man.City by exactly 1 point in the end.

It's strange that in the 2024 - 2025 season, coach Arne Slot came to Liverpool with almost no changes in the squad compared to last season. They only bought the regular striker Federico Chiesa from Juventus for 10 million pounds, but they are about to win the championship when they only need 1 more point to reach the 80 points needed to win the championship. A much lower score than the times they finished second before. Of course, Liverpool can still increase the number of points this season, when they have 4 more matches after meeting Tottenham.

Coach Arne Slot said about this secret: "Sometimes it's good to inject new energy into the team, refresh some players and you have to find a balance. After last season, we decided to keep everyone."

Liverpool's success in the 2024-2025 season has a remarkable brilliance, which is the explosion of number 1 striker Mohamed Salah, scoring a total of 32 goals so far (27 goals in the Premier League). Cody Gakpo (16 goals), Luis Diaz (15), Diogo Jota (9), Szoboszlai or Darwin Nunez (7 goals each) have also contributed significantly to the overall success of the "Red Brigade".

Manager Arne Slot's priority remains Liverpool's stability next season, they have retained Salah and Virgil van Dijk for two more seasons. But Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave without a new contract. Mac Allister is being eyed by Real Madrid. It will be a busy summer for Liverpool to maintain their strength and strengthen for next season, with a 20th Premier League title within reach and just one step away from completion.
