Arsenal must win the Premier League for the first time in nearly two decades with 25 points from a possible 30. That works out to eight wins and a draw from their final ten games, giving them 94 points – a total that Manchester City can also reach if they win their remaining 11 games, and it could come down to goal difference, which is currently in favour of the defending champions by two. However, if City starts shedding points, the Gunners won’t need to win as many as eight games, and Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off between Liverpool and City might be an indication of that. Read out the complete details about Liverpool’s £13m incentive down below!
Liverpool’s £13m incentive to assist Arsenal win Premier League
The Reds aren’t contending for English football’s top prize this season, but they could have an impact on who does. First, Jurgen Klopp emphasised the need of a Reds victory over City in order to improve their top-four prospects and maybe help Arsenal in the title race. Even if Liverpool defeats Manchester City, Arsenal must defeat Leeds United to avoid relegation.
Another issue will not excite Arsenal fans after this weekend. This season, the Merseyside club has the best head-to-head record against the Premier League’s top six, with five wins and two losses. If Liverpool can escape loss at the Etihad and stay in the top four, they can add another twist to the title battle when Arsenal visits Anfield eight days later, where Mikel Arteta and former head coach Unai Emery have struggled.
