Liverpool host Tottenham on Sunday looking to wrap up the Premier League title.

The Reds will win a 20th league crown if they secure a single point at Anfield on 27 April due to Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace (23 April).

The L4 outfit will be keen to get the job done in front of their own supporters as they were denied the chance to do so last time by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liverpool are expected to beat Tottenham

Reds supporters will be encouraged by the latest prediction as Arne Slot’s side look to secure a historic achievement much earlier than expected.

The Opta supercomputer gives the hosts a 71 per cent chance of victory for the contest, with a draw being the second most likely outcome at 16.2 per cent cent probability.

Either of those results would be enough for the Merseysiders to be mathematically confirmed as champions.

Meanwhile, a Spurs victory is the least likely result at just a 12.6 per cent chance, which is not a surprise as Postecoglou’s side is focusing on the Europa League.

Slot will hope Liverpool can do it

Slot will want to get it wrapped up as soon as possible and seal a magnificent achievement in his first season in England.

Nobody expected the Dutchman to have such an impact on Merseyside, in fact, many thought that he would struggle after replacing such a legendary figure like Jurgen Klopp in the dugout last summer.

However, he has thrived, getting the best out of the likes of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who will be sticking around to help him defend the title after they agreed on new deals that will keep them with the L4 club until 2027.

If Fenway Sports Group back him properly in the summer transfer window then there is no reason why Slot could not repeat his success, or potentially take it a step further and win even more next season, such as the Champions League.

Right now though, the focus is solely on Sunday and getting the result that they need to ensure that the Gunners cannot catch them.
