New Liverpool title theory emerges as Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win sparks belief
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that lightning strikes twice as Liverpool are given a major boost to their hopes of winning the Premier League title
Liverpool supporters believe that the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl could be a good omen in the title race. The Reds have a two-point lead at the top of the table, although Manchester City have a game in hand and Arsenal have struck a rich vein of form.
With Jurgen Klopp set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, the Liverpool boss will be determined to go out with a bang and get his hands on one final Premier League trophy. While Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta will do everything to claim first place, the Reds appear to now have a good omen up their sleeve.
A handful of fans noticed that the last time the Chiefs defeated the 49ers in the Super Bowl, Liverpool won the league. In 2020, the Reds stormed past Manchester City in the title race, ending the season with an eye-watering 18-point cushion.

Whether or not the stars align for Liverpool this season remains to be seen, but Jamie Carragher has already laid out what his former club need to do to win the competition. Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I think from Liverpool and Arsenal’s point of view, there will be this nervousness and City and are coming back and going to go on a run, but Arsenal and Liverpool have got to both play City.
"If you’re going to win the league you have to beat City. Then the other teams that you play, you’re probably going to be favourites for most of the games you go into. I think it’s important for the players and fans not to get too downhearted with what Manchester City are doing.
"Forget City, when you play them do the job and concentrate on your own game and try and drag it out as long as possible, and who knows what can happen."
Liverpool will welcome City to Anfield on March 10 before Arsenal go to the Etihad Stadium on March 31 in a pair of fixtures which could determine who comes out top in an increasingly tight Premier League title race.
