Liverpool could pile more misery on Arsenal after it became clearer when they can win the Premier League title following their 2-0 victory over Manchester City.

It was a weekend to forget for Premier League title hopes slipped further away.

The Gunners suffered a after a rare victory at the Etihad.

Arsenal have a game-in-hand but the gap appears to big to catch up – especially given their current injury issues.

The question on the lips of many Liverpool fans is when they could win the Premier League title?

When Can Liverpool Win The Premier League Title?

Liverpool could win the Premier League title at Anfield when they meet Arsenal on May 10.

If Arne Slot’s side win their remaining 11 games, they could finish on 97 points. Arsenal’s highest possible points total with 12 games to play is 89.

Liverpool and Arsenal will meet on Matchday 36 at Liverpool’s iconic home.

Should both sides win all of their games until then, it means Liverpool could pile more misery on the Gunners by clinching the Premier League title on that day.

There is also another scenario that Arsenal fans will be hoping to avoid.

If Liverpool can win the Premier League title before the two sides meet, then Arsenal players might have to give them a guard of honour at Anfield. This would be a humbling experience for the Gunners who are hoping to end their two-decade wait for the title.

The dream scenario for Arsenal fans is that they close the gap to Liverpool by the time the two sides meet at Anfield.

Arsenal will hope to capitalise on a Liverpool collapse so they can win the Premier League title. However, it appears unlikely that the Gunners will win every game between now and the end of the season.

Liverpool And Arsenal’s Remaining Fixtures

When Liverpool could win the league will be down to how they and Arsenal deal with their remaining fixtures.

The Reds have come through a difficult run and look like they could win the league with games to spare.

After three away games on the bounce, Liverpool now have a trio of home games against Newcastle, Southampton and Everton.

The Reds will play Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal back-to-back from the end of April but Liverpool could have already essentially won the league by that point.

Their remaining opponents are averaging 1.32 points per game. Arsenal’s opponents are averaging 1.42 points a game so on paper have the slightly trickier run-in.

Liverpool could win the league according to Opta – who give them a 95.8% chance of lifting the trophy.
