Liverpool are agonisingly close to winning the Premier League title – frankly, it’s all we’re all thinking about before Sunday!
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Who else watched Arsenal last night and didn’t know what result they wanted?
In the end, the Gunners drew 2-2 at home to Crystal Palace, which was arguably the perfect result for Liverpool, allowing them to win the title in front of their own fans.
It means Arne Slot‘s just need to draw at home to Tottenham on Sunday to seal Premier League glory, on what promises to be a special afternoon at Anfield.
After the pain of not being able to fully celebrate with friends and family back in 2020, fans will more than make up for it this weekend.
A Spurs win shouldn’t even be entertained!

Joanna Durkan has brilliantly dispelled the myth that Liverpool will win the title in the ‘weakest’ Premier League season ever:
“Of the campaigns determined to be less competitive in the competition’s history, seven have been in the last decade going back to 2014/15 and 16 since the turn of the millennium.
“It means this season is the 10th most competitive since 2000. So, please, spare us the ‘weak’ narrative.
“Liverpool’s ability to beat their opponents is not a reflection on the state of the league, but rather the inability of others to be as consistent as Slot’s men.”

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 2018, Liverpool thumped Roma 5-2 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
Salah scored twice past a beleaguered Alisson in goal for the visitors, with Roberto Firmino also bagging a brace and Sadio Mane finding the net, too.
Roma pulled two goals back to make Liverpool slightly nervous heading into the return fixture, with Jurgen Klopp‘s side losing 4-2 in Italy but going through on aggregate.
The Reds may have been beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in the final in Kyiv, but it was still a special European campaign.
