How many points Liverpool need to win Premier League as Arsenal drop more points - according to Opta


 

Arsenal slipped up in the Premier League title race yet again as they drew 1-1 with Brentford on Saturday evening to hand another major boost to Liverpool in their pursuit of glory.

Arne Slot’s side are 10 points clear of the Gunners, with a game in hand, and face West Ham United in their next outing on Sunday afternoon. The Reds did lose last time out as they were beaten 3-2 by Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The result in North London meant Liverpool only need three more wins to guarantee the title - providing Arsenal win their final six Premier League fixtures. However, the data experts at Opta do not believe it will take the current 82-point goal for Arne Slot’s men to seal first spot.

After hosting West Ham on Merseyside, Liverpool travel to a Leicester City side who are highly likely to be relegated, before Tottenham Hotspur travel to Anfield at the end of the month.

Opta predict final points total needed to win Premier League title

Arsenal can only reach a maximum of 81 points following their draw with Brentford. It means Liverpool - who are on 73 points - only need eight to surpass that total. However, Opta have forecast their final Premier League table and point tallies, giving Arsenal an average of 75.44. Rounding up to 76, it means that the Reds only need four points to beat that total and just one win to match it.
Opta have predicted that Liverpool will finish around 88 points. That means they are forecast for 15 points from their final 21 on offer. After being knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain last month, the Reds are fully focused on the title race. It gives Slot’s side more rest between games. Liverpool have struggled for form in recent weeks and Slot will be grateful his side can have more time to recover between games.

Liverpool’s final seven games as Premier League title in view

As noted above, Liverpool play West Ham, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur before May rolls around. They have a real chance of securing the title in April. After their April fixtures, they start their final four-game stretch with a trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea. Then comes a game that many believed would be a title-defining contest. It could still have an impact on the race for the Premier League crown if Liverpool falter in their coming fixtures.

Wike not right for unity, Atiku defends Okowa’s choice

  The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has clarified that he rejected former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike as his running mate in the election because Wike was not suitable for a ticket intended to promote unity rather than division.

Save me from the burden that isn’t mine” – Jumoke Odetola cries out to God

  Actress and producer Jumoke Odetola has lamented over the current state of social media, criticizing the prevalence of “clout chasing” and a lack of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and common sense among users. In an Instagram post, Odetola described how interacting with people who lack these qualities can be mentally draining.  She also expressed her exhaustion with feeling secondhand embarrassment from individuals she neither knows nor engages with. Turning to faith, she prayed for strength to ignore negativity, remain unbothered, and avoid wasting time on issues that do not concern her. She wrote: “In this age and time where clout chasing is the new currency and lots of people do not even know where and when to draw the line. “If you still have common sense, emotional intelligence, social awareness, and self-awareness. I bet you don’t realize how blessed you are. The irony is it’s a blessing wrapped in thorns, those who lack these basic qualities can be incredibly...
