Liverpool’s journey to the English Premier League title is becoming more intriguing after the Manchester United vs. Arsenal match ended in a 1-1 draw on Monday, March 10, 2025, in the early hours of the morning Indonesian time. With nine English Premier League matches remaining this season, Liverpool only needs 16 points to secure their second Premier League title.
What makes this race even more compelling is that out of these 9 remaining matches, Arne Slot’s team will play more home games. This includes facing Everton in the Merseyside Derby and hosting Arsenal, their closest competitors in the current Premier League standings.
Celebrations were underway in Liverpool as the players marked Mohamed Salah’s goal against Manchester City in the 26th week of the 2024/2025 English Premier League season at Etihad Stadium on Monday, February 24, 2025, in the early hours of the morning Indonesian time.
Liverpool’s next steps will kick off after the upcoming Eid holiday, precisely on April 2, when they host Everton at Anfield. This will be followed by matches against Fulham (away), West Ham (home), Leicester (away), Tottenham (home), Chelsea (away), Arsenal (home), Brighton (away), and culminating with a match against Crystal Palace (home).
Currently, Liverpool holds a 15-point lead over Arsenal, despite playing one more match. They have accumulated 70 points, while Arsenal has 55 points after the draw against Manchester United. If Liverpool wins all five remaining home matches, it means Mohamed Salah and his teammates only need one point from the 4 away matches available.
However, if Liverpool wins all six upcoming matches, they will undoubtedly secure the title of English Premier League champions. The result against Arsenal in the 36th week will not affect their status as champions. According to former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson, this season’s competition is already over. Arsenal just needs to focus on finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League standings rather than thinking about their chances of winning the title.
“I will say now that Arsenal need to concentrate on getting into the top 4 of the Premier League,” stated Paul Merson to Sky Sports, as reported by the BBC.
