Liverpool strengthened their grip on the Premier League title race with another commanding performance, extending their lead over Arsenal at the top of the table. A week that began with an eight-point advantage has now seen that margin stretch to 13, piling pressure on their closest rivals. The latest boost came as Arsenal stumbled to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, failing to respond after their disappointing home defeat to West Ham. Meanwhile, Liverpool made no mistake at Anfield, dispatching Newcastle United 2-0 in a display that underlined their dominance this season.
The victory showcased the Reds’ quality and composure, with Dominik Szoboszlai breaking the deadlock in the first half before Alexis Mac Allister sealed the result after the break. Arne Slot’s men looked in complete control, outclassing a Newcastle side still pushing for a top-four finish. Their consistency has been relentless, and the growing belief among fans and pundits alike suggests that a 20th league title is within touching distance. While Slot and his squad will insist nothing is won yet, the Anfield faithful are already daring to dream of the celebrations ahead.
If Liverpool continue their winning form, the moment they can mathematically secure the title may not be far away. Arsenal still have a game in hand, meaning the gap could shrink to 10 points if they win that fixture against Chelsea on March 16—the same weekend Liverpool contest the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle at Wembley. However, even if Arsenal manage a flawless run from now until the end of the season, Liverpool could still seal the title with a win at Stamford Bridge on April 26, a match that could be rescheduled for broadcast.
Should the Reds maintain their perfect streak in the next six league fixtures and then secure victory at Chelsea, they will be beyond reach, regardless of Arsenal’s results. That would set up a surreal moment the following weekend when the Gunners visit Anfield, knowing that the title race is officially over. In that scenario, Arsenal could find themselves offering Liverpool a guard of honor—a symbolic moment that would cement this squad’s place in history.
For now, Liverpool remain focused on one game at a time, with Slot determined to keep his players grounded. But as each match passes and the points keep accumulating, the reality of another Premier League triumph becomes harder to ignore. The celebrations may not be too far away, and when that day arrives, the city of Liverpool will come alive in a way only football can inspire.
