How Liverpool can win the Premier League title when Arsenal play Crystal Palace (2025)

Liverpool are on the brink of winning the Premier League title and could be crowned champions after Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

Arne Slot’s side currently sit 13 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table and have five games left to play.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has insisted that he will not rest his key players fortheir remaining Premier League matches in order to preserve them for their upcoming Champions League semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

But any hopes of a late title charge from Arsenal will be over with a defeat at home to Crystal Palace.

Can Liverpool win the Premier League title tonight?

Yes, Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions if Arsenal are beaten by Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening.

A defeat for Mikel Arteta’s side would leave them on 66 points with four games left to play.

That means if Arsenal won all four of their remaining Premier League games and Liverpool lost their remaining five matches, it still wouldn’t be enough for the Gunners to finish top of the table.

If Arsenal beat Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, Liverpool can win the Premier League title with a win against Tottenham on Sunday.

Liverpool can finish the season on 94 points if they win all of their remaining five matches, which would be their third-best tally in the Premier League behind only the 2019/20 and 2018/19 campaigns.

This would be only Liverpool’s second Premier League title but the first they would be able to properly celebrate with fans as their 2019/20 success during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Slot will also become the sixth manager to win the Premier League title in their first season at a club after Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini, Claudio Ranieri and Antonio Conte.

Will Arsenal give Liverpool a guard of honour?

As is tradition, if Liverpool win the Premier League title before the final game of the season, opposing teams will give them a guard of honour when they walk onto the pitch ahead of matches.

That means that if Liverpool win the title by beating Tottenham on Sunday, Arsenal should give Liverpool’s players a guard of honour when they meet at Anfield on May 11.

The same will apply for Chelsea, Brighton and Crystal Palace.

Thankfully for the Gunners, they will most likely not have to witness Liverpool lift the trophy at Anfield as that will be saved for Liverpool’s last home game against Crystal Palace on May 25.
