Liverpool enter today 13 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table. A Premier League crown has felt like an inevitability for weeks, if not months, and it can become a certainty today — if Liverpool win and Ipswich Town defeat Arsenal in their earlier fixture.
Regardless of how that other match plays out, a Liverpool victory today would get them closer to the league title. They would only need to win one more match to make it official without any help from Arsenal (or anyone else).
Thus, a very important day for Arne Slot and his players in the East Midlands.
