It is a matter of time before Liverpool are crowned champions, and it could happen as early as Sunday if results go their way.
It is rare in Premier League history for a team to have about 70 points after 32 games and be 10 or more points ahead – but not unprecedented.
While 10 Premier League leaders have had more points at this stage, only one had a bigger lead than Liverpool’s 13 points – the Reds themselves in 2019-20 when they had a record 86 points and a 20-point lead.
For those who may use this to argue that Liverpool haven’t actually been that great, then the same must surely apply to three previous title-winning sides. These are Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United sides of 1999-2000 (73 pts, 11-pt lead) and 2000-01 (73 pts, 13-pt lead), and Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side in 2014-15 (76 pts, 10-pt lead).
I’d love to see someone say that those United sides weren’t actually that great to Roy Keane’s face!
