Liverpool are now just one point away from winning the 2024–25 Premier League title. This comes after Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal had the lead twice in the game, thanks to goals from Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard. But Crystal Palace fought back, with Eberechi Eze scoring first and Jean-Philippe Mateta equalising late in the match after a mistake from defender William Saliba. The draw keeps Arsenal unbeaten in 12 matches, but it all but ends their hopes of winning the league this season.
Liverpool are currently top of the table with 79 points. They have five games left to play and just need a draw in their next match against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield to become champions.
Under their new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have looked strong and consistent throughout the season. If they win the league, it will be their 20th English title and their first since 2020. Fans are especially excited, as the last time they won the title, celebrations were limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.
While Liverpool focus on sealing the title, Arsenal will now turn their attention to the Champions League. They are set to play Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. However, they have injury worries, with players like Ben White and Mikel Merino possibly missing the match.
As the season nears its end, all eyes will be on Anfield this weekend. If Liverpool manage even a draw against Spurs, they will be crowned Premier League champions — this time, in front of their home fans.
