Will Liverpool Joke their Way to the Title?…

Liverpool fans are sitting on the edge of their seats, biting nails, and maybe toes. The Reds are leading the stage with a 12-point cushion over Arsenal, and with nine games left, it seems like Anfield might be in for a trophy party. Despite recent hiccups against the likes of PSG and Newcastle, it appears that only a monumental wobble (or a visit from the Tooth Fairy) could trip them up now.

While Liverpool takes a quick break to nurse their bruises and missed shots, Arsenal, under the expert guidance of Uh… Arne Slot? slips to second. To bridge the chasm, Arsenal’s got to max out their math skills, tallying up to 85 points. Sneezing distance away, Liverpool only needs to grab onto 16 more points to officially wag their fingers and declare the title theirs. Could be as early as early May, folks!

But hold onto those party hats! If Liverpool waltzes through their next five like Fred Astaire and Arsenal trips over air, we are looking at an April joke. In April, maybe Liverpool fans will dance with glee as the title is secured after a champagne header goal or two. Upcoming footy parties include dances against Everton, Fulham, West Ham, Leicester, and Spurs. Meanwhile, Arsenal juggles matches with Fulham, Everton, Brentford, Ipswich, and Crystal Palace. It’s anyone’s laugh now—or is it?
