Liverpool moved closer to winning the Premier League title as Arsenal suffered a 1-1 draw against Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners looked on course for a victory after Thomas Partey broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a clinical finish.
But Yoane Wissa salvaged a draw for the visitors by netting an equaliser with a superb acrobatic finish.
The stalemate continues Arsenal’s run of poor form in the English top-flight, with the Londoners winning just two of their previous seven matches.
However, the result means Liverpool can now move 13 points clear at the top of the standings with victory against West Ham United on Sunday.
The Irons have had a massively underwhelming campaign, and the Reds are expected to pick up maximum points from the Anfield clash this weekend.
Arne Slot’s men need just nine more points to wrap up the 2024-25 Premier League title. Wins against West Ham, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur will guarantee a record-equalling 20th top-flight title for the Merseyside titans, but that could even happen next week.
If Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town next Sunday, Liverpool will be crowned champions of England provided they win their next two matches against the Hammers and Leicester.
However, defeat for Mikel Arteta’s side is highly unlikely as the Tractor Boys have been one of the worst teams in the league this campaign. They have won just four times over the course of the season and are currently 12 points adrift of safety.
