Liverpool’s dominance in the Premier League this season suggests they are on an unstoppable path to the title.
No team in the history of England’s top division, dating back to 1888-89, has ever held such a commanding lead at this stage and failed to claim the championship.
Match of the Day host Gary Lineker remarked, “It’s looking less like a title race and more like a procession, is it not?”
The Reds have suffered just one league defeat all season, while their nearest challengers, Arsenal, have recently stumbled, dropping points in consecutive games.
Nottingham Forest icon Martin O’Neill, analysing Arsenal’s goalless draw for TNT Sport, stated, “I believe tonight’s result has ended the race. I just don’t see Arsenal catching Liverpool now.”

Liverpool further cemented their position at the top with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle, extending their lead to 13 points.
With manager Arne Slot serving the first of his two-match touchline bans, he observed from the stands as Dominik Szoboszlai netted an 11th-minute opener, his mis-hit shot finding its way past Newcastle’s goalkeeper, Nick Pope.
The home crowd erupted once more in the second half when Alexis Mac Allister capitalised on Mohamed Salah’s assist, slotting a powerful shot into the top left corner.
Chants of “We’re going to win the league” echoed around Anfield, reflecting the growing confidence among Liverpool supporters.
Newcastle, missing their leading scorer Alexander Isak due to a groin injury, struggled to convert their chances, lacking sharpness in attack.
