And with five of those matches taking place at Anfield, Liverpool could build a mathematically unassailable lead even before 3 May – with Chelsea and Arsenal potentially having to roll out the guard of honour for the Reds in May.
On paper, the earliest that the Reds could wrap up the title would be on 12 April, when they face West Ham – this is quite unlikely though, as Arsenal would have to lose all five of their games up to then (as well as Liverpool winning all of theirs).
Looking at those points per game statistics, it is currently ‘more’ likely that Liverpool will wrap up the title if they win against Chelsea in gameweek 35, which takes place on the weekend of 3 May.
If both sides were to win both of their games from now to then, it would put Liverpool on 88 points and Arsenal on 80 – meaning that the Gunners would have to win to keep the title alive.
Liverpool have just 11 matches left to play, while Arsenal have one more – which will take place on the weekend of 16 March, when the Reds are contesting the Carabao Cup final.
