Liverpool’s emphatic 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium all but secured their Premier League title hopes, as jubilant away fans sang in celebration. With just 90 seconds remaining, Liverpool supporters chanted "We're going to win the league," a declaration made even sweeter by the sight of empty sky-blue seats.
The result, coupled with Arsenal's loss to West Ham, leaves Liverpool 11 points clear at the top of the table, making their path to the title seem inevitable.
Manager Arne Slot’s smooth transition from Jurgen Klopp has ensured Liverpool remains a dominant force, fulfilling the club’s long-standing ambition of reclaiming domestic supremacy. The legacy of legendary figures like Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and Joe Fagan—who all considered league triumphs as the club’s defining achievements—is now within reach once more.
The Etihad, which has often witnessed Manchester City’s title celebrations in recent years, was instead the backdrop for Liverpool’s vocal declaration of dominance, as fans urged City to "hand it over."
Though football is unpredictable, it seems highly unlikely that Liverpool, having lost only once all season, will squander their commanding advantage with just 11 matches remaining. Seven of those fixtures will be played at Anfield, a fortress where their dominance is nearly unshakable. While Arsenal still hold a game in hand, their inconsistency under pressure makes a perfect run improbable.
Even if Liverpool stumble, the gap is substantial enough to cushion any slip-ups, reinforcing the reality that the Premier League crown is heading back to Anfield.
