Sunday, April 27, 2025, could be a historic date for Liverpool. The Reds only needed one point when they hosted Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield Stadium to ensure the Premier League title for the 2024-2025 season.

Arne Slot's men will be crowned champions as long as they don't experience a surprising defeat at home to Spurs, who are now more focused on their ambitions in European competitions and appear to want to end the league season soon.

On Wednesday night, Liverpool players reportedly held a viewing together with Arsenal's match against Crystal Palace. Arsenal's defeat in that match should have been able to directly lead Liverpool to the title, but a 2-2 draw forced the party to be postponed a little longer.

Now, Liverpool only need to avoid losing to the Arsenal city rivals to ensure the trophy can be paraded in front of The Kop. Unlike during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, this time Liverpool fans have the opportunity to celebrate directly with the players at the stadium.

The title will be the 20th title as the Premier League champion. This equaled the record for Manchester United who also collected 20 Premier League champions.

Trent Alexander-Arnold became the winning hero over Leicester City at the Easter weekend, with his deflected volley leading Liverpool to a 1-0 win. With that result, unless Liverpool lose in the remaining five games and Arsenal wipe out the last four games, Arne Slot will officially become the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his first season, after Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini, and Antonio Conte.

Slot himself is enjoying an incredible performance at home, where Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 14 Premier League games at Anfield, including six consecutive wins.

Tottenham Hotspur's Fate

On the other hand, Tottenham came to Anfield in an unconvincing condition. Spurs are currently 42 points behind Liverpool in the standings and practically just play to keep their self-esteem, given their hopes in the league have disappeared.

Last season, Tottenham fans even cheered when their team lost to Manchester City, to thwart Arsenal champions' ambitions. It's interesting to look forward to whether a similar situation will happen again this time.

Spurs have just lost 1-2 to Nottingham Forest and have now suffered four defeats to their last five Premier League matches. Their focus is now more focused on the Europa League semifinals, where they will host Bodo/Glimt next week.

But Tottenham's record at Anfield gave little hope. The Lilywhites never won in their last 15 visits to Anfield, with Liverpool winning their last three meetings, scoring four goals each.

Liverpool have only lost two players to this match. Joe Gomez is still recovering after the hamstring surgery, while Tyler Morton has not recovered from a shoulder injury.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is predicted to return to the starting XI after his crucial goal against Leicester. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, who is experiencing goal drought in the last four Premier League games, will try to add to his collection of goals against his second favorite Spurs after Manchester United.

In the Tottenham camp, only Radu Dragusin (ACL injury) and Son Heung-min (leg injury) were confirmed to be absent. Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and total Johnson, who had been rested, are expected to return to the starting XI for this important match.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are also ready to duet back on the back.

Liverpool Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Johnson
