Premier League final day: Liverpool's chances of winning the title predicted
There’s a small chance that come next Saturday evening, Liverpool will have achieved something close to footballing perfection.
With just two games remaining in their 2021/22 season, Jurgen Klopp’s side are in with a shot at winning a quadruple.
Liverpool have already secured the League Cup and FA Cup, while a date with Real Madrid in the Champions League final awaits them.
And on Sunday, the Reds will look to win the Premier League for just the second time in their history.
However, they will require an enormous amount of help from Aston Villa.
Steven Gerrard’s side travel to current table-toppers Manchester City on the final day and they need to get at least a draw for Liverpool to stand a chance of winning the title.
Of course, Klopp’s talented outfit still need to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on home soil, which is certainly not a formality.
