A look at when Liverpool can clinch the Premier League title

Liverpool’s long wait to end a 30-year title drought has been extended a little further by the lockdown.

When the Premier League closed down in mid-March Jurgen Klopp’s side were just six points from guaranteeing the top-flight championship – the club’s 19th – would be coming back to Anfield for the first time since 1990.

Following the resumption, Sunday’s goalless draw at Everton in the Merseyside derby has prolonged the agony for fans even further as they now cannot win the title with victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday.

In theory Klopp’s side still need five more points to clinch the prize but, depending on Manchester City’s fortunes, that could come sooner rather than later.

Here, the PA news agency looks at when and where Liverpool could win the title.
