When Can Liverpool Lift the Premier League Trophy?
The English Premier League never fails to surprise. The 2024-25 season also has a bagful of surprises – a few great, a few not so great, while others are expected. Manchester City’s free-fall after the draw against Arsenal was the biggest surprise for many.
The Cityzens were thrown out of the title race after a winless run, allowing teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa to move up in the standings. Arsenal was not a surprise, challenger yet not champions for the third season in a row, and the biggest winner – Liverpool, who are on the verge of the title since 2020.
When can Liverpool win the Premier League?
33 games into the season, Liverpool already has a game in hand with a 12-point lead over their closest challengers, Arsenal. But this advantage could mean nothing with the Reds needing just one point to clinch the title.
Arsenal’s four remaining games will fetch them a maximum of 12 points, putting them on 79 points. Liverpool already has 79 points on the board after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s winner handed the side a 1-0 win over the relegated Leicester side.
A point in the next five matches – against Tottenham (H) on April 27, Chelsea (A) on May 4, Arsenal (H) on May 11, Brighton (A) on May 20, and Crystal Palace (H) on May 25, will be enough for Arne Slot to bag the league title in his very first season.
When Can Liverpool Lift the Premier League Trophy?
Liverpool could be crowned Premier League champions this Sunday, but they won’t lift the trophy just yet. It is tradition that the Premier League trophy presentation only takes place on the final weekend of the season.

Different Records Liverpool Could Set Winning the Premier League 2024-25 title
After missing out on a treble FA Cup and Champions League exit late in the competitions.) Liverpool has its eyes set on the Premier League. Fans will be pleased with the performance post-Jurgen Klopp’s departure. The new era under Arne Slot is already looking historic, with multiple records being set.

It will be Van Dijk’s record also, being the first Netherlands player to win the PL as captain. No Dutch star in the league has managed to achieve the feat in league history.
If Liverpool wins the title in game against Tottenham, they will match the third in the list of winners with most matches spared. Ironically, Liverpool only tops the list with 2019-20 title with 7 games left.
Another record could be points difference, Liverpool’s highest points margin title win was 18. If the Reds win all their remaining games, they could at least match their points margin record.
