The last time Liverpool won the Premier League, the players and fans celebrated from home, watching on TV. It was during the Covid era, and their title win was almost certain. All they needed was for Manchester City to lose to Chelsea—and that’s exactly what happened. Chelsea won 2-1, and Liverpool celebrated their title from their living rooms.
Now in 2025, a similar situation is happening. Liverpool, under coach Arne Slott, has five games left. They only need to win one more to secure the title. But if Arsenal loses tonight, Liverpool won’t even need that win.
Arsenal is playing against Crystal Palace at 1 AM Bangladesh time. If Palace wins, Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions. That would give them 20 league titles—equal to Manchester United—the most in English top-flight football history.
Liverpool now have 79 points from 33 games. Under Arne Slott, they’ve won 24 matches, drawn 7, and lost only 2. Arsenal are in second place with 66 points from the same number of games. They have 18 wins, 12 draws, and 3 losses. Crystal Palace are currently 12th, with 11 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses.
But Crystal Palace haven’t done well against Arsenal recently. In their last 5 matches, Arsenal have scored 17 goals against them, while Palace have only scored 2. Arsenal have won the last 6 meetings. This season alone, they beat Palace 3-2 in the League Cup and 5-1 in the Premier League.
Still, Palace have shown strong form in London derby matches this season. They beat Fulham 2-0, West Ham 2-0, and Tottenham 1-0. This is their best performance in local derbies since the 1990-91 season.
Liverpool aren’t just waiting for Arsenal’s match. They also have a big game coming up against Tottenham at Anfield on the 29th. If they win that game, Arne Slott’s team can win the title in front of their home fans. That would be a perfect way to celebrate.
