Liverpool stands on the cusp of securing their 20th English league title following Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on April 23, 2025. This result leaves Liverpool needing just one point from their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to clinch the Premier League crown.
Arsenal's Setback
Arsenal took the lead twice through goals from Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard. However, Crystal Palace responded each time, with Eberechi Eze equalizing first, followed by a late chip from substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta. This draw leaves Arsenal with 67 points and four games remaining, while Liverpool sits at 79 points with five matches left.
Liverpool's Title Prospects
Liverpool's dominant 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace earlier in the week showcased their attacking prowess, with goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Fabinho, and Sadio Mane. This win extended their lead at the top of the table, and they now require only a draw against Tottenham to secure the title.
