It was a near miss for Arne Slot and his team. Liverpool were on the brink of being crowned Premier League champions if Crystal Palace had triumphed over Arsenal on Wednesday.

But a 2-2 draw with the Gunners means the Reds will have to hold off on popping the bubbly - at least for now - with Reds fans delighted as they now have the chance to see their side win the title in front of their own eyes at Anfield.


The stalemate leaves Arsenal trailing by 12 points with just four matches left. Liverpool, having played one less game, could still clinch the title by the weekend if they maintain their undefeated streak at Anfield.


Just a single point would secure the deal for Slot's squad, meaning a draw or a win in Sunday's crucial clash against Tottenham would bag them their 20th domestic title.

With Arsenal set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals, they won't be playing another domestic match this month. This could lead to the Gunners giving Liverpool a guard of honour when they visit Merseyside in May.

The signs are promising for Liverpool: in their previous encounter with Spurs this season, Slot's boys netted six goals, leading to an unforgettable victory, reports the Mirror.

A repeat performance this Sunday wouldn't hurt.

Even if Liverpool don't cross the finish line this weekend, it would require a monumental slip-up from the Reds to hand Arsenal their first domestic title in over two decades, especially as the games are dwindling.


Even if they don't clinch victory against Tottenham this weekend, they've got another four cracks at crossing the finish line.

Liverpool's fixtures includes face-offs with Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace.

Arsenal, on the flip side, might find themselves scrapping to secure second place. With the Champions League semi-final looming, Arteta has made it crystal clear that league duties are still top priority.

"All we can do is delay that moment and from our side earn the right to finish as high as possible," he declared following Sunday's triumph at Ipswich Town.
