Explained: How Liverpool can win Premier League title NEXT weekend 12 Apr 2025

With Liverpool  sitting 10 points clear at the top of the table and with only six weekends of action remaining, fans are thinking about WHEN they can win the Premier League title, rather than if. 

Here, we look at the permutations of how and when they could be confirmed as 2024/25 Premier League champions.

The main thing to know is that Arsenal's 1-1 draw at home to Brentford means the earliest Liverpool can win the title is NEXT weekend, on Sunday 20 April.

Most simply, Liverpool need another nine points out of the 21 that are available across their remaining seven Premier League matches to guarantee a second Premier League title.

That would give them 82 points, out of reach of their nearest rivals Arsenal, because even if the Gunners won their remaining six matches, they could get to only 81 points.

When is the earliest Liverpool can win the title?

The earliest moment that Liverpool could claim the title is after their match on Sunday 20 April, away to Leicester City (KO 16:30 BST).

For that to happen, Liverpool must win their next match, against West Ham United on 13 April, while Arsenal need to lose their next match, at earlier in the day on 20 April (KO 14:00 BST).

That scenario would put Liverpool on 79 points after beating Leicester, while Arsenal would still be on 63 points and only able to finish on a maximum of 78, with five matches and 15 points left to fight for after losing to Ipswich.

Top two's next five fixtures


Assuming Arsenal beat 18th-placed Ipswich and that Liverpool win their next two matches, it would mean Premier League action ends in Matchweek 33 next weekend with Liverpool on 79 points and Arsenal on 66 points. 

If the above scenario happens, it means Arsenal will go into their home match against Crystal Palace on 23 April needing to avoid defeat to deny Liverpool being confirmed champions. 

But even if Arsenal beat Palace on 23 April and go 10 points behind Liverpool with four matches remaining, it would give Liverpool the chance to confirm the title with victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on 27 April.

Jamie Vardy to leave Leicester City 24 Apr 2025

Image
  Leicester City have announced that Jamie Vardy is leaving the club after 13 seasons. The Foxes striker will depart at the end of the campaign having made more than 400 appearances across all competitions and helped the club win a Premier League title and FA Cup. “I’ll be devastated on the day when it is the last [game], but good things, they come to an end,” Vardy said on the club's website. “It’s going to be one of those emotional days. Who knows which way that can go. If you ask anyone, I’m not really an emotional guy. Nothing like that ever comes across with me, but when you’ve been somewhere for so long, and it is time to say goodbye, you just never know what your personal reaction is going to be.” “Especially for me, being here so long, the fans took me in like I was one of their own,” the 38-year-old striker continued. “You always want to repay that and that’s why this Club will always have a massive place in my heart. It’s family. The fans have, ever since I’ve been here, ...

              Man City linked with surprise move for Tottenham left-back Udogie Pep Guardiola's side ready to spend big to bolster defence Spurs reluctant to entertain interest in Italian  Tottenham Hotspur have warned Manchester City they are not interested in selling left-back Destiny Udogie this summer, according to a report. City have been looking for a new full-back ever since the January transfer window and it was recently revealed that 22-year-old Udogie had found his way on to Pep Guardiola's radar ahead of what could be an expensive summer. Officials from the Etihad Stadium recognised any deal for Udogie would be a hugely complicated one and, as relayed by Florian Plettenberg, Spurs have only contributed to those concerns by taking a defiant stance on his future. Spurs have refused to even set an asking price for Udogie, making it clear to City that they have no desire to entertain a departure for the Italy international. Udogie is recog...
