Explained: How Liverpool can win Premier League title on Sunday and why Arsenal are still alive in the race

We take a look at how Liverpool and Arsenal can still win the Premier League title. However, the chances of Arsenal winning the Premier League trophy is almost next to impossible.

Liverpool are one step away from winning the Premier League title after Arsenal faltered against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Arsenal had the opportunity to extend Liverpool’s wait at least till next month but their 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace means Liverpool are now just inches away from winning the Premier League title, while the trophy hopes for the Gunners have almost fizzled away for one more season.

Arsenal began the match with 66 points from 33 games, while Liverpool had 79 points from the same number of matches. Five wins from their remaining fixtures would have allowed Arsenal to surpass Liverpool’s tally, finishing on 81 points. If Liverpool were to lose all of their final five matches and remain on 79, Arsenal could have clinched the title — provided they won all five, including the game against Crystal Palace.

However, now, Arsenal can only earn a maximum of 12 points from the last four games, which means they can only reach 79 points in total. Liverpool already have 79 points and a draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday will make them the new Premier League champion.
