When can Liverpool win the Premier League title? Date, permutations, trophy parade plans | Football News
After Liverpool’s late winner against West Ham, when is the earliest Arne Slot’s side can win the Premier League title?
Second-placed Arsenal dropped points again against Brentford on Saturday, before Liverpool beat West Ham 2-1 thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s late winner to increase the gap to 13 points.
The Reds face relegation battlers Leicester in their next fixture on April 20, live on Sky Sports.
It means Liverpool need a maximum of SIX points to clinch the title.
If Liverpool beat Leicester and Tottenham in their next two Premier League games, providing Arsenal win both their games against Ipswich and Crystal Palace, they will be crowned champions of England for a record-equalling 20th time on April 27.
However, if Arsenal lose to Ipswich, live on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday next week at 2pm, then Liverpool know that victory over Leicester – which is live on Sky after the Gunners’ game – will secure the title.
They could then get a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge when they play Chelsea on May 4. All of those matches will be shown live on Sky Sports.
What is the earliest date Liverpool can win the title?
Liverpool could win the title on April 20, following their televised game at relegation-threatened Leicester. But that would require them to beat Leicester and then for Arsenal to lose at Ipswich. All of those games are on Sky Sports too.
Liverpool cannot win the league title any earlier than that.
Could Liverpool win the league when Arsenal visit Anfield?
Yes, there is a scenario where that happens, but it would need Arsenal to make up at least two points on Liverpool ahead of that game.
If Liverpool come into that game with a pre-match lead of nine, eight or seven points, a draw would be enough to win them the title. If it is less than that, the hosts would need to win to secure the Premier League trophy.
When would Liverpool get the trophy?
If the Reds do, as expected, go on to win the league, then they would be presented with the Premier League trophy after their final home game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25, the first time the club’s supporters will have actually seen their side lift the top-flight title in person since May 1990.

Liverpool players celebrate with the Premier League trophy in 2020 but without fans at Anfield
Given Liverpool’s fans were unable to celebrate their previous Premier League title win in 2020 with the team and players due to Covid restrictions, the Reds would be expected to go on an open-top bus parade with the trophy this time around, although that will all be confirmed at a later date once they have been crowned champions.

How many Premier League titles have Liverpool won?
If the Reds are, as expected, to go on and win the league, that would draw them level with arch-rivals Manchester United on 20 top-flight titles, two of which would have come in the Premier League era.
When were Liverpool last crowned Premier League champions?
Liverpool last won the championship back in the delayed 2019/20 Covid season when Jurgen Klopp’s side amassed 99 points en route to the title, ending a 30-year wait for a top-flight title in the process.
