Liverpool are moving ever closer to getting their hands on the Premier League title this season.

The Reds are 11 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table after the Gunners slipped up with a draw against Everton.

Arne Slot has only lost one league game since replacing Jurgen Klopp and he looks set to emulate the club legend in his first year.

The importance of maintaining their lead at the top has risen over recent weeks after losing in the FA Cup final and being eliminated from the Champions League.

And with Trent Alexander-Arnold agreeing to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, there could be some distraction.

But with eight games to go, Liverpool are still flying and they know exactly what they need to get the job done.

When can Liverpool win the title?

Liverpool need 11 more points to secure the Premier League crown.

They now only need four more wins to do it, even if Arsenal manage to win all of their remaining games.

The Gunners can reach a maximum of 83 points, so it leaves Slot's men needing to reach 84 to win the title in his first year in charge.

All eyes will be set on winning each and every game to get their hands on some silverware, and that started this week.

They beat Everton at Anfield on Wednesday to move one step closer to glory before clashes against Fulham and West Ham follow.

After that, Liverpool travel to struggling Leicester, which is the earliest game they can secure glory.

Liverpool's remaining games

Fulham vs Liverpool - April 6Liverpool vs West Ham - April 13 Leicester vs Liverpool - April 20 Liverpool vs Tottenham - April 27 Chelsea vs Liverpool - May 4Liverpool vs Arsenal - May 10 Brighton vs Liverpool - May 18 Liverpool vs Crystal Palace - May 25

If the Reds beat Fulham and West Ham and Arsenal fail to beat Brentford and Ipswich, they'll be crowned champions on April 20.

But that remains unlikely, so instead, April 27 could be the day.

Presuming Liverpool beat Fulham, West Ham and Leicester, and Arsenal win their games too, the Reds will win the title by overcoming Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham.

Should they be crowned champions in that fixture, they are likely to get a guard of honour from all remaining opponents this season.

This would mean Arsenal, who look set to miss out on Premier League glory yet again, would perform the gesture for their rivals on May 10.

It's not compulsory for teams to do so, but usually they do to show respect for the title-winners' achievements.

It's something that would hurt Arteta and his squad as they would have to applaud the team who beat them to the title.

If Liverpool slip up before that meeting with Arsenal on May 10, there's potential for them to clinch it against the Gunners.

But things remain up in the air regarding the exact time that the Reds can get their hands on the silverware.

There are still a lot of games to go this season, of course.

One thing's for sure, Slot's side will lift the Premier League trophy on the final day against Crystal Palace if they clinch it.

And what an end that would be to the first season without Klopp.
