An Arsenal win would delay Liverpool’s celebrations but Arne Slot’s side would then have the chance to wrap up the title this weekend when they face Tottenham at Anfield.
Liverpool were third-favourites to win the Premier League at the start of the season behind defending champions Manchester City and Arsenal.
But Man City have suffere a huge drop-off under Pep Guardiola and Arsenal are set for a third successive second-place finish under Mikel Arteta.

With Guardiola signing a contract extension earlier in the season, Manchester City will hope to recover next year and challenge for a Premier League title they won four times in a row before their struggles this term.

But Saha has doubts over the aforementione teams and therefore views Liverpool as ‘favourites’ to go back-to-back and defend the title they will soon clinch.
‘This year, Liverpool have the most consistent, so they’ve got the most points,’ the ex-Premier League striker.
‘They had a successful transition, losing an amazing manager, but they have a new one who has gelle really well.
‘So base on that they are probably still favourites, while you can see Man City still have some changes to make in the summer.
‘There are others like Chelsea, who had a better than expecte season, but a difficult one still. Given the numbers of players and transfers they had to accommodate, they’re still not quite there.
