Liverpool on the Brink of Premier League Title Triumph
Liverpool are now within touching distance of their 20th English top-flight title following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. With a 12-point lead and a superior goal difference, Jürgen Klopp’s men need just a draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to officially clinch the Premier League title.
Arsenal Drop Points Again
Despite leading twice through Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard, Arsenal couldn’t hold off a resilient Crystal Palace side. Goals from Eberechi Eze and a late stunner by Jean-Philippe Mateta leveled the match and delivered a blow to Arsenal’s faint title hopes.
This marks the third time in four league matches that Arsenal have dropped points. Their focus now seems to be shifting to their upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool’s Historic Opportunity
Liverpool, currently managed by Arne Slot, are on the verge of matching Manchester United’s record of 20 English league titles. This would also be their first Premier League triumph since 2020.
The Reds’ dominance this season, highlighted by their goal difference advantage (+44 compared to Arsenal’s +34), reflects their consistency and attacking power.
Key Highlights from Arsenal vs Crystal Palace:
- ⚽ Kiwior (3′) and Trossard (44′) gave Arsenal the lead twice.
- 🔁 Eze (27′) and Mateta (85′) struck back for Palace.
- 🔥 Mateta’s late equalizer came after a costly error from Saliba.
- ❌ Arsenal rested key players like Bukayo Saka, while Merino and Ben White were sidelined.
What’s Next for Both Teams?
🔴 Liverpool:
A single point against Tottenham at Anfield this weekend will seal the title. Fans are already gearing up for what could be a historic celebration.
🔴 Arsenal:
With domestic hopes fading, Mikel Arteta’s side will turn their full attention to the Champions League semifinal against PSG — their first in over a decade.
