Liverpool is on the verge of securing their 20th English top-flight title, matching Manchester United’s record, as it faces Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, May 4, 2025. A single point will clinch the Premier League crown, putting them 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with only four games remaining.
Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has dominated the season, defying expectations after Jurgen Klopp’s departure. Slot, who introduced a possession-based style, led the team to 11 wins in their first 13 matches, including a 3-0 victory at Manchester United. Despite a rare loss to Fulham, their consistency, driven by Mohamed Salah’s 27 goals and 18 assists, has made the title all but certain.

— Liverpool FC (@LFC) April 26, 2025Slot emphasised the team’s responsibility to deliver for fans, noting the 2020 title’s muted celebration due to COVID-19 restrictions. “Our fans know we need at least one point, and they’ll support us as they have all season,” he said. Tottenham, struggling in 16th and winless at Anfield since 2011, pose little threat on paper.
Despite speculation over stars like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who may join Real Madrid, Liverpool’s focus remains sharp. Recent Champions League and League Cup setbacks won’t overshadow the anticipated title celebration.

Dutchman Arne Slot became only the fifth manager in Premier League history to win the title in his first season in charge, although his success owed much to the side he inherited from Jurgen Klopp, who departed the Reds last season after nine years in charge.
