When can Liverpool win the Premier League title?

Surely no one can stop Liverpool winning the Premier League title now, with Jurgen Klopp's side an incredible 25 points out in front at the top of the table.

The Reds put an end to their mini blip after three games without a win in all competitions to beat Bournemouth 2-1 at Anfield, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane scoring after Callum Wilson's early strike.

Klopp's men have dominated the league for a long time now and it's only surely only a formality for the Champions League winners to securing a first league title for 30 years.

With 82 points from 29 games, they are 25 points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand, with just nine games remaining.

And after City were stunned 2-0 by rivals Manchester United on Sunday, the Reds can actually win the title before they play their next game.

That's because Pep Guardiola's side, champions in the last two seasons, play twice - against Arsenal and Burnley at home - before Liverpool's Merseyside derby against Everton on March 16.

The likelihood of them having the title wrapped up by then is slim, with City needing to lose both games to make that happen.

Liverpool saw their chances of going the entire season unbeaten come to a grinding halt after the 3-0 defeat at Watford, having gone 44 games without defeat.

But they broke a new record with a 22nd consecutive home win against Bournemouth and with those three points, Liverpool require just two more wins - or six points - to lift their crown.
