Liverpool will be presented with the opportunity to win the Premier League title when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
With just five rounds of fixtures remaining, the Reds now know that a win or a draw this weekend will secure them what would be a record-equalling 20th English top flight crown.
Arne Slot’s side edged closer to Premier League glory with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Leicester last weekend, in a game that brought up one of my bets.
That victory coupled with Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in midweek means that a potential title party is now on the cards at Anfield on Sunday.
Standing in Liverpool’s way this weekend is a Tottenham team that have endured a miserable campaign in the top flight, with Monday night’s 2-1 reverse at home to Nottingham Forest their 18th league defeat of the season.
Languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League table, Ange Postecoglou’s side appear to be putting all of their eggs in the Europa League basket.
How the bookies view it: Reds to reign supreme
Given the circumstances coming into this game, it’s no surprise to see Liverpool as short as 2/9 on Boylesports to take top honours on Sunday.
A draw would confirm Liverpool as champions and that outcome is on offer at 5/1 with Boylesports.
Tottenham are a towering 17/2 on Boylesports to play the role of party pooper by winning at Anfield this weekend.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool have avoided defeat in each of their last 15 home games with Tottenham, including a 4-0 EFL Cup second leg semi-final victory earlier this season. Slot’s side were winning at half-time before going on to claim top honours on that occasion and a repeat here stands out at 4/5 with Boylesports.
Players to watch: Virgil offers value
Virgil van Dijk scored in Liverpool’s most recent Premier League home game with West Ham. Given how vulnerable Spurs have been when it comes to defending crosses and set-pieces this season, the Dutchman merits support to register a shot on target here at 13/5 with Bet 365.
Former Everton forward Richarlison will be fired up for Sunday’s clash. After netting against Nottingham Forest last time out, the Tottenham ace is 7/2 (Boylesports) to repeat the trick this weekend.
Predicted line-ups
Trent Alexander-Arnold is pushing for a recall to the Liverpool starting XI after coming off the bench to score the only goal of the game at Leicester last time out.
With one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg tie with Bodo/Glimt, Spurs boss Postecoglou is not expected to field a full strength side at Anfield on Sunday.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Tottenham: Vicario; Gray, Danso, Davies, Spence; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr; Odobert, Solanke, Tel
Anything else catch the eye?
While Tottenham have nothing other than pride to play for on Sunday, they look a touch too big to earn four or more corners at 4/5 with Boylesports.
No team has averaged more corners than Spurs’ 7.00 per game in the Premier League this season.
What's more, Postecoglou’s side earned seven flag-kicks in this season’s reverse fixture, not to mention they covered the proposed 4+ corner line at Anfield on EFL Cup duty earlier this year.
