Liverpool is closer than ever to clinching the Premier League title after a nail-biting 2-1 victory against West Ham United at Anfield.

With this dramatic win, Liverpool has bolstered their lead in the title race. Entering the weekend with an 11-point advantage over their closest rivals, they now only need 9 more points from the remaining matches to secure the trophy.

The situation became even more favorable for the Reds when Arsenal settled for a 1-1 draw against Brentford, lessening the points needed to just three victories.

In a frantic finish, a defensive blunder between Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson almost cost them the game. However, Van Dijk redeemed himself by scoring a late header in front of a raucous crowd at The Kop.

Looking ahead, Liverpool needs just six additional points from their last six matches of the 2024/25 season. Interestingly, two wins will suffice, even if Arsenal manages to win all their games.

Next up, Liverpool faces a desperate Leicester City next Sunday at 4:30 PM. The Foxes will be fighting fiercely to avoid relegation, adding to the pressure for both teams.

If Liverpool triumphs at Leicester, they could celebrate their title victory at Anfield against Tottenham Hotspur on April 27. But there’s a twist! If Arsenal loses to Ipswich Town earlier that day, a win over Leicester would crown Liverpool champions right then and there.

Should that occur, Liverpool would still have four matches left in the season, and they would enjoy the honor of receiving a guard of honour from their opponents—a spectacle befitting champions.

Their May schedule includes a daunting trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, followed by a likely celebratory home match against Arsenal, who may find themselves honoring their rivals rather than battling for the title.

The climax of the season will play out at Brighton for the penultimate game before wrapping up against Crystal Palace at Anfield on the final day.

As Liverpool continues their march towards glory, fans can't help but wonder: Could the title be theirs sooner than expected?
