LONDON — Liverpool are on the brink of winning the Premier League title after Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
Arne Slot’s side were watching in anticipation of an Arsenal defeat that would have secured Liverpool’s record-equalling 20th English title.
They didn’t get their wish to start the party just yet, but Liverpool look certain to lift the trophy for the first time since 2020 after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s late equaliser for Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
Liverpool are 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, who have just four games left and an inferior goal difference of +34 compared to the leaders’ +44.
