Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 13 points after a commanding 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield. With just ten games remaining, the Reds now find themselves in a dominant position as they edge closer to a record-equalling 20th English league title. Their latest triumph saw Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister on the scoresheet, further strengthening Liverpool’s case as title favourites.
While Liverpool continue their impressive run, Arsenal’s goalless draw against Nottingham Forest has only widened the gap. The Gunners, now second in the league, have struggled to keep pace, making Liverpool’s position look increasingly unassailable. Manager Mikel Arteta, who previously insisted he would not concede the title “over [his] dead body,” acknowledged that Arsenal now face an uphill battle, stating,
“The only thing we can do is win our matches and see how many points we get.”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot remains focused on keeping the squad grounded, reminding fans that there is still work to be done. “It is still a long way to go, ten games. In March, we only play one Premier League game, so we are not focused on the long term,” Slot said after the Newcastle match. His immediate attention, however, is on Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, where the Reds will look to continue their fine form on the European stage.
Liverpool’s consistency has been remarkable this season, with only one league defeat so far. Their ability to maintain control in key matches has been a defining factor, and former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman has described them as “unstoppable.” This level of dominance has led many to wonder when, not if, Liverpool will mathematically secure the title.
Only once before has a team held a 13-point lead in the Premier League at this stage and failed to lift the trophy – Manchester United in the 1997-98 season, when Arsenal staged a dramatic comeback. However, Liverpool’s current form suggests history is unlikely to repeat itself. The club’s incredible performances this season can be tracked via the official Premier League table, where their lead at the top is becoming increasingly difficult to challenge.
With the Merseyside derby against Everton approaching and several crucial fixtures still ahead, Liverpool’s focus will be on maintaining momentum. For fans, the dream of another Premier League trophy is beginning to feel like a reality.
