A point. Just one point. That's all that Liverpool need to win a 20th top-flight title and the club's fans will be primed to get the party started at Anfield on Sunday when the Reds host Tottenham.

Judging by Spurs' record at Liverpool, there's little evidence to suggest that Arne Slot's team will not be confirmed as champions in the Dutchman's first season in charge.

Tottenham are without a win at Anfield since 2011 and, on top of that, have lost 18 league games this season and face the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.

Liverpool have been beaten just twice in the league this season - once at Anfield - and have the best home record in the top flight, having earned 41 points from 16 games.

There were few, if any, that thought Slot would lead the Reds to the title after he arrived from Feyenoord to replace Jurgen Klopp last summer.

However, he is on the brink of guiding a team that fell away in the latter stages of last season to a top-flight crown that will draw them level on 20 titles with arch rivals Manchester United.

Slot will chat to the media at about 09:00 BST this morning and we'll see if he is his usual calm and considered self or allows himself to take in what he is so close to achieving.
