Liverpool have been on course to win their second Premier League title for quite some time, but the wait for official confirmation could finally end this weekend.
After more than eight months of relentless effort, the Reds can be crowned champions when Tottenham Hotspur visit Anfield on Sunday. The home crowd will be eager to celebrate in style—especially against a Spurs side struggling for form.

Fans were unable to fully enjoy Liverpool’s 2019/20 title win due to Covid-19 restrictions, but they’ll make up for it this time with a proper celebration once the title is sealed.
Here’s how Liverpool can get it done on Sunday:
Liverpool’s Title Scenario vs Tottenham
Following Arsenal’s midweek draw with Crystal Palace, Liverpool’s task is now clear. A single point against Spurs will be enough to secure the Premier League trophy. Even a draw will do it.
Given Tottenham’s poor domestic form and their looming Europa League semi-final, Liverpool are heavy favorites to get the job done. Avoiding defeat seems a likely outcome—but if Spurs do pull off a shock win, Liverpool would need to wait another week. They face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next weekend, though they could still be crowned champions beforehand if Arsenal fail to beat Bournemouth.
How Many Points Can Liverpool End the Season With?
Liverpool currently sit on 79 points with five matches remaining. Winning all of their remaining games would see them finish on 94 points—enough to record the sixth-highest tally in Premier League history, and the fifth-highest for a title-winning side.
That total would be Liverpool’s third-best Premier League finish by points, behind their 97 points in 2018/19 (when they finished second) and their 99-point title-winning season in 2019/20.
When Will Liverpool Lift the Trophy?
While Liverpool can secure the title this Sunday, they’ll have to wait until the final day of the season to lift the trophy. That will take place at Anfield following their last game, against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 25 May.
An open-top bus parade is expected to follow on Monday, 26 May—a bank holiday in the UK—marking Liverpool’s first ever Premier League trophy parade, after the 2020 celebrations were canceled due to the pandemic.
How Many League Titles Have Liverpool Won?
This would be just Liverpool’s second Premier League title since the competition began in 1992, but it would mark their 20th English league title overall.
That total would see them equal Manchester United’s all-time English record of 20 league titles. United overtook Liverpool’s historical lead in 2011 and reached 20 in 2013, but haven’t won one since.
A 21st title would return Liverpool to the top of the list as the most successful league club in English history—one they dominated from the 1970s through to the early 1990s.
Liverpool’s first league triumph came in 1900/01, but their golden eras began under Bill Shankly in 1959, sparking decades of domestic and European dominance.
