Premier League awaits new champion Liverpool

Liverpool only need a draw against Tottenham to officially be crowned champions right after the confrontation at home at Anfield at 10:30 p.m. on April 27.

Once members of the famous "Big Six" group on the Premier League pitch, at the present time, even holding Liverpool to a draw is not an easy task for Tottenham. Even the most pessimistic Tottenham fans cannot imagine that their team will be "chosen" to hand the title to their Merseyside rivals when they are already 42 points behind Liverpool!

Having secured their place in the league, Tottenham now have no motivation to stop Liverpool from going straight to their 20th Premier League title in history. The "Roosters"' biggest concern at the moment is entirely on the Europa League front, where they have reached the semi-finals. If they win, Tottenham will get a ticket to the Champions League, a chance to salvage a dismal season.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still racing towards the finish line, 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal and having played one game less. This means that if Liverpool avoid losing to Tottenham at home, they will reach glory four rounds early. A glorious achievement awaits coach Arne Slot ahead, right in his first season leading Liverpool.

That's the theory, but in reality, Liverpool have enough basis to welcome the throne with a resounding victory at home. Against a Tottenham team that is in extreme decline with 4 defeats in the last 5 matches, the chance of victory of "The Kop" is predicted to be over 70% thanks to the excellent form of the whole team.

The clash with Tottenham is expected to mark the return of Mohamed Salah, who has been "silent" in the Premier League for over a month. The impact of Ramadan, combined with the difficult negotiations to renew his contract with the Anfield team, has somewhat taken away the sharpness of the Egyptian striker.

Dubbed the "evil spirit" after scoring 6 goals against Tottenham in the last 7 meetings, Salah is confident that he will "shoot" again against a familiar opponent. It should be remembered that at home at Anfield, Liverpool have not dropped any points against Tottenham since 2019. The "Red Brigade" strikers have scored a total of 19 goals against their London opponents.

"The Kop" will catch up with the record of 20 English championships (before and after the Premier League era) currently held by Man United, enough to ease the sadness of failure in the League Cup, FA Cup as well as the Champions League!

Although Liverpool could officially be crowned champions after the match against Tottenham, they have yet to lift the trophy as per the regulations. The Premier League traditionally only awards trophies on the final day of the season while "The Kop" still have 4 matches after this round, against Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, Crystal Palace.

"Other notable matches on April 27: Bournemouth - Man United (8pm), Nottingham Forest - Man City (FA Cup semi-final, 10:30pm).
