The elusive quadruple that Liverpool fans are still pining for remains out of sight for now, but come April 27 Arne Slot and his crop will surely be proudly parading their Premier League trophy.
The Reds entered the March international break on the back of their most damaging week of the season, having been eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain before ceding their EFL Cup crown to Newcastle United.
However, thanks to their smash-and-grab 1-0 win over Leicester City, Slot's side still boast a double-digit lead over the Gunners at the summit of the Premier League table, and as long as they do not suffer the collapse of all collapses, the 2024-25 crown will be theirs imminently.
But just exactly how long will Liverpool fans need to wait for the title? Here, Sports Mole calculates the earliest that Liverpool could win the league, and when they are likely to.

After Arsenal could only draw with Crystal Palace on April 23, Mikel Arteta's men are 12 points behind the Reds with just four games remaining for the Gunners.
Arsenal's current total of 67 points means that they can only achieve a maximum of 79, whereas Liverpool are capable of finishing the season with 94, but only 80 are needed to take home the crown.
As a result, Liverpool must take just one point from their remaining five matches to claim the six points needed to guarantee the title, meaning that they can still afford four more defeats between now and the end of the season.

In the absolute best case scenario, Liverpool could - and should - be crowned Premier League champions as early as Sunday, when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield.
Liverpool would officially be crowned Premier League champions for the second time if they win or draw that game, as the Gunners would then be 13 or 15 points behind with just 12 left to play for.
However, Liverpool winning the 2024-25 Premier League title with four matches left to play would not set a new record, as Jurgen Klopp's men were guaranteed to finish first with seven games remaining in 2019-20.
