Liverpool's march to the Premier League title seems unstoppable.

After Arsenal dropped points in their draw at Everton on Saturday, Arne Slot's side could go 14 points clear at the top by beating Fulham on Sunday.

BBC Sport looks at when Liverpool could wrap up their second Premier League title - and a record-equalling 20th overall.

What dates could the Reds be looking at?

It is fair to say Liverpool are champions-elect now - so it is a matter of when and not if.

The Reds, who have lost just once in the league this season, need 11 points out of a possible 24 to guarantee the title, with Arsenal only able to obtain a maximum of 83 points.

Ten points could also be enough given Liverpool's goal difference is vastly superior to Arsenal's (currently +43 to +30).

In fact, given their goal difference supremacy, Slot's side might only need two wins and a draw - as long as one of those victories is against the Gunners - to secure the title.

The earliest date Liverpool could win their 20th league title is 20 April, when they play Leicester away.

For that scenario to play out, Arsenal need to lose their next match against Brentford, with Liverpool beating Fulham and West Ham in that time.

Then if Arsenal fail to win at Ipswich on 20 April, the Reds would be crowned champions before even playing against Leicester later that afternoon.

Should the Gunners beat the Tractor Boys, having previously lost to Brentford, Liverpool would win the title by beating the Foxes.

No team have ever failed to win the English title from the position Liverpool are in

Could Liverpool break any records?

Liverpool would need everything to go their way to equal their own record of winning the title with seven games to go in 2019-20.

Equalling the five games left of Manchester United (2000-01) and Manchester City (2017-18) is more achievable.

United (1999-2000 and 2012-13) and Arsenal (2003-04) did it with four games to spare.

The Reds know that if they win it, it will be earlier in the year than their only other Premier League title - which came on 25 June 2020 in the Covid-interupted season.

Arne Slot's side would have to extend their lead at the top by eight points to record the biggest margin of victory in a Premier League season.

Manchester City finished 19 points clear of Manchester United in 2017-18 when they won the Premier League title with a record 100 points.

The Reds can get a maximum of 97 points.
