Arsenal once again prolonged Liverpool’s wait before securing their 20th English Premier League title following their match on Wednesday night.
Tarakirivoice understands that Arsenal’s attention has already shifted to the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Tuesday, April 29.
Liverpool stands on the verge of clinching the Premier League title following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Wednesday, April 23.
Arne Slot’s team was eagerly anticipating an Arsenal loss that would have guaranteed Liverpool’s record-equaling 20th English title yesterday.
Although their hopes for an immediate celebration were dashed, Liverpool appears poised to lift the trophy for the first time since 2020, thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s late equalizer for Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
Currently, Liverpool holds a 12-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, who have only four matches remaining and a goal difference of +34 compared to the leaders’ +44.
The Reds, with five matches left, will secure their 20th title, matching their fierce rivals Manchester United, if they avoid defeat against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.
While the champagne remains on hold for Slot’s team, it is merely a matter of time before Liverpool completes their relentless pursuit of the title, following Arsenal’s third draw in their last four league matches.
Jakub Kiwior initially gave the Gunners the lead, but Eberechi Eze equalized for Palace.
Leandro Trossard restored Arsenal’s lead before halftime, only for Mateta to come off the bench and score a brilliant equalizer with seven minutes remaining.
Arsenal had previously delayed Liverpool’s celebrations by defeating Ipswich 4-0 on Sunday, as a loss for the Gunners and a win for the Reds over Leicester would have concluded the title race.
