We may still be two months away from the end of this year’s English Premier League, but it seems like a champion is set to be crowned as Liverpool sits 15 points ahead of Arsenal in the table.
We may still be two months away from the end of this year’s English Premier League, but it seems like a champion is set to be crowned. Liverpool is now 15 points clear at the top of the table with just nine games left to play and would need a catastrophic turn of form to not secure its first league title since 2020 and second in the last 35 years. The Reds edged one step closer after coming from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 on Saturday, and then watched as their closest title rival Arsenal drew 1-1 with Manchester United on Sunday. In truth, the results confirmed what many people thought to be true anyway: that the Gunners are no longer serious challengers for the league this season, despite it still being mathematically possible. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is facing growing pressure to secure a major trophy for the club, looked visibly agitated after Sunday’s draw as he appeared to hurry out of his post-match interview when asked whether the title race was over. He later addressed the question in his post-match press conference but didn’t appear keen to provide a detailed analysis of the situation his club is in.
