English Premier League: Liverpool could secure their 20th title today

Today, in the 34th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool will host Tottenham. The Reds need just one point to secure their championship.

Report informs that the match at Anfield will be officiated by referee Thomas Bramall.

Liverpool currently has 19 league titles, the last of which was in the 2019/2020 season under Jürgen Klopp. With a win or a draw in today's game, the Merseyside team will not only become champions but also equal their arch-rivals Manchester United in this indicator. The Red Devils won their last - 20th title during the era of Alex Ferguson - in the 2012/2013 season.

The Liverpool-Manchester United clash is one of the most important rivalries in English football. In recent years, Liverpool has regained the title of the most titled club in England, surpassing Manchester United in terms of trophies. The Merseysiders currently have 68 trophies, including 19 English championships and 6 European cups, while Manchester United has 67 awards. Thus, Liverpool has restored the historical advantage it gained in a large part of the 20th century.

Arne Slot's players have scored 79 points in 33 games. Their closest pursuer is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal - 67 points in 34 games. Although Arsenal has mathematical chances for the championship, it seems illusory. For this, the Reds must only lose in the last five games of the season, and the Gunners must only win in the last four matches.
