Liverpool’s long wait for a second Premier League title in five years is nearing its end, but the precise moment of their coronation remains just out of reach.
With just four matches left to play, Liverpool are within touching distance of sealing the English Premier League crown. Under Arne Slot’s astute leadership, the Reds have maintained a relentless pace throughout the campaign, thrilling supporters with a blend of resilience, creativity, and sheer determination.
Victory — or even a point — against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield this Sunday would guarantee the title. Yet Slot remains cautious, determined to keep his players grounded as they stand on the brink of history.

“It’s a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact the last time this club won the league it was Covid so everyone is looking forward to Sunday,” Slot said in his pre-match press conference, capturing the mixture of excitement and caution that currently envelops Merseyside.
Anfield is already buzzing with anticipation. Memories of the muted 2020 celebrations — when Liverpool lifted the trophy behind closed doors due to pandemic restrictions — have only sharpened the hunger to mark this achievement properly.
Despite the growing frenzy, Slot has warned against complacency.
“I get these questions and then it comes to your mind, of course,” he admitted. “But that’s the last thing you think about as a manager at this point of time.”
This focus is essential. Tottenham, themselves chasing European qualification, represent no easy obstacle. Liverpool know that one slip could still reopen the door for their rivals.
Even if Liverpool secure the title this weekend, the Premier League trophy will not be lifted until their final home match of the season — a May 25 encounter against Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Captain Virgil van Dijk will have to wait to finally hoist the silverware in front of a full house, an occasion that promises to be emotional after the frustrations of 2020.
“We still need a point, we are definitely still aware within this building,” Slot emphasised, underlining the club’s determination not to be distracted by premature celebrations.
Should Liverpool complete the job against Spurs, the scenes that follow will be unforgettable. The players, who have battled so fiercely over the season, will finally have the opportunity to share their triumph with the supporters who have willed them forward every step of the way.
For now, patience and focus are the watchwords. But make no mistake: Liverpool’s moment is coming — and this time, they are determined to celebrate it properly, together.
