LIVERPOOL are edging closer to winning the Premier League title – but how can they win it TONIGHT, without even kicking a ball?
Since taking over for Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot has only lost two league games, and it appears that he will follow in the club legend’s footsteps in his debut season.
Following their defeat in the Carabao Cup final and subsequent elimination from the Champions League, the significance of preserving their advantage at the top has increased in recent weeks.
Arsenal’s run in Europe’s elite club competition has aided Liverpool’s tilt at the title, with back-to-back draws to Everton and Brentford all but ruling them out of a domestic comeback.
Additionally, the Anfield club have been handed an early summer boost as they secure the futures of key duo, Mohamed Salah and now Virgil van Dijk.
Arne Slot’s side have popped up with big wins to get one hand on the Premier League title, with goals in the last 15 minutes to secure three points in the last two games.

When can Liverpool lift the Premier League title?
Liverpool can win the Premier League as soon as TONIGHT when Arsenal play Crystal Palace.
Liverpool opened up a 13 point gap to Arsenal after a 1-0 win over relegated Leicester on Sunday afternoon.
Following the Gunners clash with Palace, they only have four games remaining, meaning they can pick up a maximum of 12 points.
Should Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, the Reds will be crowned champions.
But should the Gunners defeat or draw with Palace, the earliest Liverpool can then win the league is next Sunday.
If the Gunners are held to a draw by Palace, it would mean the Reds need just one point in the 4:30pm BST kick-off on Sunday afternoon against Tottenham.
If Arteta’s side win, Slot’s Reds will need all three points to win the Premier League title against Tottenham at Anfield.
