Liverpool news: Opinion – Slot has done all of this with Klopp’s team.

Barring an absurdity, Liverpool will win the Premier League title at a packed and celebrating Anfield this Sunday afternoon.

After years of missing out narrowly to Pep Guardiola’s frustratingly brilliant Manchester City, it is bizarre how easy it all feels.

A Liverpool win against Tottenham will take Arne Slot’s Reds 15 points clear with four games to go. It’s been a cakewalk, in all honesty. Even a draw will see Liverpool win the title.

Arsenal have drawn 13 games. City used to seemingly win every match from February onwards and Jurgen Klopp’s sides would miss out by a point here or there. Liverpool could win the title on 80 points this season, but finished second on 97 and 92 points under the German.

Even last season’s Liverpool team were only five points worse off at this stage of the campaign and would have waltzed this title.

It feels unfair that Klopp only won one title with a better, more rounded team than Slot’s. But he should take credit for laying the foundations for the Dutchman, who has proved himself an elite tactician, a wonderfully composed orator and the best manager in the league this term.

City falling off a cliff was the catalyst to make Liverpool fans believe, and Arsenal not being able to string wins together helped, too. But let’s not blame it on their injuries alone. Before Bukayo Saka’s injury, Liverpool were still plenty of points clear of the Gunners.

To think, Slot made no signing of note in the summer – Federico Chiesa has barely had a sniff. Slot has done all of this with Klopp’s team. What an extraordinary achievement.
