Relying on who you take heed to, you could be duped into considering that Liverpool are an atypical workforce who’ve merely received the Premier League by deault this season.
That was the insinuation from Richard Keys in a petty diatribe in latest days, for which Jason McAteer rightly took him to process, and the Reds secured the title on Sunday with 4 matches to spare after they thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1.
Arne Slot’s aspect sit 15 factors away from second-placed Arsenal, who nonetheless have to go to Anfield simply 4 days after what’s positive to be an emotionally and bodily draining Champions League semi-final towards Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool may nonetheless set Premier League file this season

Liverpool may even outdo the legendary 2019/20 champions
When the Reds received the Premier League in 2020, their eventual profitable margin was a whopping 18 factorsand even that had been diminished within the closing weeks of the season, with two of their three defeats that time period coming after they’d already clinched the title.
It’s not unthinkable that there could possibly be the same unconscious drop-off within the ultimate month of his marketing campaign, however neither is it implausible that they could but exceed the cavernous hole by which they received the division 5 years in the past.
It’s honest to say that Liverpool haven’t been all-singing and all-dancing in fairly a couple of of their victories this season, however the identical could possibly be mentioned of the 2019/20 aspect which claimed 79 factors from the primary 81 on provide and accrued a ultimate tally of 99.
The Reds’ ultimate 4 matches this time period are towards Chelsea (away), Arsenal (residence), Brighton (away) and Crystal Palace (residence).
The west Londoners are nonetheless scrapping for a Champions League end, however the Seagulls’ European hopes could also be extinguished by the point we go to the Amex Stadium, whereas the Eagles will both be jubilant or crestfallen after they come to Anfield, relying on the end result of the FA Cup ultimate.
The Gunners nonetheless have that heavyweight European tie towards PSG to barter, together with a visit to the newly-crowned champions and a house conflict towards a Newcastle aspect searching down a top-five end, so they might simply fall even additional behind Slot’s aspect.
After all of the accusations from the likes of Keys, wouldn’t or not it’s fairly the response to win the Premier League by a file factors margin this season!
