This is how the Reds win the Premier League title

Liverpool FC is not only in the Champions League final, but is also still fighting for the title in the Premier League. You can see what has to happen for the Reds to be able to celebrate winning the English championship here at SPOX.

Manchester City made the title fight in the English Premier League exciting again with yesterday’s 2-2 draw against West Ham United. Liverpool, who have a chance of winning four trophies this season, have hope again. With winning the Carabao Cup and the triumph in the FA Cup on Sunday, the Reds, who are coached by Jürgen Klopp, have already bagged two out of four possible titles. In both finals, the opponent was Chelsea FC, in both of which they only won on penalties.

Liverpool can still win the Premier League and the Champions League, in the final of which they face Real Madrid on May 28th.

Manchester City are currently in the lead in the English championship after 37 match days with 90 points. The FCL follows immediately afterwards in second place, four points behind, but has also played one game less than the Skyblues. That’s why Liverpool still have a chance of winning the championship.

Premier League, Table: The standings in the title fight

Place	team	Sp.	Gates	differential	pt.
1.	Manchester City	37	96:24	72	90
2.	Liverpool	36	89:24	65	86
3.	Chelsea	36	73:31	42	70

Within two games, Liverpool FC can still make up the four-point deficit over the Citizens, but must hope for a mistake by the leaders. By the way: In the top English league, if the number of points is the same, the direct comparison decides at the end. However, since both games between Liverpool and Man City this season ended in a 2-2 draw, the next step is to use the goal difference, then the number of goals scored to decide. If there is still no winner at the end of the season, the English champions would even be determined with an all-important playoff game. However, there is still a long way to go.

In the following, SPOX explains what has to happen for Liverpool to become champions.

Liverpool FC: This is how the Reds still win the title in the Premier League

Liverpool will win if…

… he wins both games (tomorrow against FC Southampton and on Sunday against Wolverhampton Wanderers), while Manchester City loses to Aston Villa on Sunday.

In this case, the top of the table would look like this after the 38th matchday:

1st place – Liverpool FC, 92 points
2nd place – Manchester City, 90 points

… he wins against Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, ManCity only draws against Aston Villa.

In this case, the top of the table would look like this after the 38th matchday:

1st place – Liverpool FC, 92 points
2nd place – Manchester City, 91 points

… he takes four points from the games against Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, i.e. wins one of them and ends one with a draw, City loses against Aston Villa, Liverpool FC also improved their goal difference so much (currently: +65) that he ended up with a better one than City.

In this case, the top of the table would look like this after the 38th matchday:

1st place – Liverpool FC, 90 points, goal difference: at least City’s difference +1
2nd place – Manchester City, 90 points, goal difference: +71 at best

So those are the three ways Liverpool can be crowned straight champions after 38 games. But it also works with the decision game (playoff game) mentioned above. However, the likelihood of this happening is low.

This game will be played as soon as both clubs have the same number of points, there is no winner in the direct duel, and both City and Reds have the same goal difference and the same number of goals scored.

This scenario occurs when…

… Manchester City lost to Aston Villa, Liverpool FC collected four points in their two games and improved the goal difference so that in the end both teams scored and conceded the same number of goals. For example, if City lost 1-0 to Aston Villa, Liverpool would have to score a total of seven goals in the two duels, even conceding one.
