Sorry folks, we're going all in on Liverpool as Premier League champions-elect.

We're asking you how many points you think the Reds will win the league by this season. You can find the options at the top of this page, and we will reveal the results later today.

There is the option to say they won't win the title, btw...

Liverpool's Arne Slot says his side's 2-0 Premier League win over Newcastle United was a "great squad performance".

Match Of The Day pundit Danny Murphy analysed Luis Diaz's game against Newcastle United that helped Liverpool continue their "relentless" march towards the Premier League title.

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 earliest date a title has been won by was 14 April 2001 when United were crowned champions.

Arne Slot's side would have to extend their lead at the top by seven 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.

Statisticians Opta say it is 98.7% likely Liverpool will win the title (with Arsenal on 1.3%).

If the Reds maintain a 13-point lead that will give them the title with four games to spare - on 26 April against Tottenham.

But if the Gunners win their game in hand - and match their other results, Liverpool would seal the title the following weekend against Chelsea.

If that happened their first game as champions would be a home game against Arsenal, who may end up giving them a guard of honour on to the pitch.

Because of their progress in the Champions League, place in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle and an international break, Liverpool only play one league game in March.

The earliest that Liverpool could mathematically win the title would be in the first week of April.

If the Reds won their next three games and Arsenal lost their next four matches (with teams below them dropping a few points too), it would be over on 5 April.

Liverpool's march to the Premier League title seems inevitable now. No team in English top-flight history, going all the way back to 1888-89, have been this far clear at this stage of the season and not won the title.

"It's becoming less of a title race and more of a procession isn't it?" said Match of the Day host Gary Lineker.

The Reds have only lost once in the league all season, while second-placed Arsenal have dropped points in each of their past two games.

Nottingham Forest legend Martin O'Neill, watching their 0-0 draw with Arsenal for TNT Sport, said: "I think tonight is the result that finished it. I cannot see Arsenal catching Liverpool, not at all."

Liverpool continued their charge towards the Premier League title as a 2-0 win over Newcastle put them 13 points clear at the top of the table.

Manager Arne Slot, beginning his two-game touchline ban, watched from the stands as Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a scuffed strike past Nick Pope.

Alexis Mac Allister added to the jubilant atmosphere in the second half, with chants of "We're going to win the league" heard from the Kop after the Argentine swept Mohamed Salah's pass high into the left corner.

The visitors lacked a clinical edge up front. Alexander Isak, their top scorer this season, was absent because of a groin injury.

Let's get into it then - the evening the Premier League title race was surely, surely, surely decided once and for all this season.

We begin at Anfield...

The Times meanwhile lead with Manchester United, who won the most exciting Premier League game last night as they beat Ipswich 3-2 at Old Trafford.

Defender Harry Maguire scored the winner for United, who were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Patrick Dorgu was sent off.

There is focus on Arsenal too, who have dropped five points in two games this week without scoring a goal to leave themselves with a probably insurmountable task when it comes to catching the Reds.

While Liverpool cruised to victory at Anfield, Arsenal's lack of firepower was exposed in a 0-0 draw at the City Ground.

Unsurprisingly, Liverpool dominate the back pages after lead at the top of the Premier League became even more commanding last night.

Liverpool are 13 points clear after beating Newcastle 2-0, as nearest rivals Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
