When can Liverpool win the Premier League title?

1/30
Tom Doyle24 June 2020

Liverpool are Premier League champions-elect, but Jurgen Klopp's Reds face a tough test up next to officially confirm themselves as champions.

Klopp's men have dominated the League all season and it's only surely only a formality for the Champions League winners to securing a first league title for 30 years.

Liverpool restarted the season needing just six points to confirm themselves as champions, though a Merseyside derby draw at Everton on Sunday night ensured they had to wait a little longer.

City won their opening two games of the season - against Arsenal and Burnley - to keep the race going a little longer, though Liverpool's emphatic 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday puts them even closer to the title.

Liverpool have now played 31 games and sit on 86 points, 23 ahead of City - though the current champions have a game in hand against Chelsea on Thursday.

Liverpool will be champions if Man City fail to beat Chelsea at the Etihad on Thursday - but if City win, then Klopp's men will be able to clinch glory against City when they visit the Etihad on Thursday, July 2, with kick-off scheduled for 8:15pm BST.

Liverpool saw their chances of going the entire season unbeaten come to a grinding halt after the 3-0 defeat at Watford in February, having previously gone 44 games without defeat.

But they broke a new record with a 22nd consecutive home win against Bournemouth in March.
