The shadow of the Premier League champion is revealed

Liverpool need to win 13 more points from a maximum of 24 in their remaining eight games to secure their second Premier League title in history.

Overcoming Everton in the 246th Merseyside derby, Liverpool moved closer to the championship this season to wait for the 20th crown in the English top flight.

Facing the pressure of chasing Arsenal and the "plea" from the majority of Premier League fans hoping they would stumble a few times from now until the end of the tournament, Liverpool overcame the uncomfortable situation caused by their neighbors Everton at Anfield and could breathe a sigh of relief because they were about to reach the finish line.

If luck is considered a part of every sport , it can be affirmed that fate has not turned its back on the army of coach Arne Slot even though before and after, "The Kop" had to give up many goals of the season. Just winning the Premier League, Arne Slot will go down in history as one of the greatest coaches of Liverpool, more than enough for a coaching career in the first season leading a famous team.

The Merseyside derby was an emotional release, helping Liverpool shake off all the worries from the early elimination in the FA Cup as well as the two most recent defeats in the Champions League and the League Cup final. Everton seemed to enjoy boundless joy when Beto scored against the home team but was caught offside. The Guinea-Bissau striker then had another chance to face the goalkeeper but shot the ball wide.

Liverpool's attack was almost completely out of sorts on a day of total lockdown, except for Diogo Jota when no one was paying attention to him. When Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz or Dominic Szoboszlai were closely guarded, Diogo Jota only needed a moment to shine with a goal of his life.

Liverpool won their 100th Merseyside derby but more importantly, they took another step towards their 20th English title. With the Kop still 12 points clear at the top of the table, fans can now calculate when Liverpool will win the title rather than whether they are capable of winning it.

In theory, Liverpool need to win 13 of the maximum 24 points in the remaining 8 matches to secure their second Premier League title in history. At that time, Arne Slot's team will have 86 points while second-placed Arsenal, if they win all 8 remaining matches, will only have a total of 85 points.

If they win 5 consecutive matches against Fulham, West Ham, Leicester, Tottenham and Chelsea, "The Kop" will finish early on May 4, regardless of what their opponents plan.

Meanwhile, if Arsenal do not play well against Everton, Brentford and Ipswich, they will have to watch Liverpool crowned champions on April 20, of course, on the condition that their opponents get full points against Fulham, West Ham and Leicester at the same time.

Liverpool won by a minimum and not very pretty victory against Everton but the effect was maximum. They will have to apply the same strategy for the remaining matches to achieve the target of the season when all factors of "heaven, earth, and people" are leaning towards Arne Slot and his team.
