In all the Premier League matchdays that the Jurgen Klopp-managed Liverpool has figured into, it seemed that winning had been made easier game after game. It is the same thing with setting new records. It's virtually effortless for the Reds to write history like securing win No. 23 without a single loss in the competition.
The Merseyside club was at West Ham on Wednesday, and thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah, the Reds marched off the pitch with a 2-0 victory. The win padded further the lead that Liverpool enjoys in the Premier League table.
There is no denying reigning champ Manchester City is a solid contender, but as things stand now, Klopp's squad is the automatic bet to win the league title. The numbers are in favor of Liverpool, according to The Evening Standard, noting that the team now enjoys 19 points of lead over City.
And in adding the East Londoners to the list of conquered foes in the season, Liverpool wrote club history. The Reds boast the honor of having defeated all competitors in the Premier League.
Riding on the momentum of sweeping all major English clubs in the season, Liverpool sets sight on erasing more records, and the publication said the team still has 14 games to disrupt English football history.
Right on target is to overtake the 32 wins credited to City in Season 2018, and the indicators are strong Liverpool can match or exceed the 100 points collected by Pep Guardiola's team, which by the way punctuated that season campaign by taking home the league title.
Next, to be shattered by the Reds is the 49 wins registered by Arsenal, which earned the label The Invincible. However, Liverpool will be more faithful to the honor should the team close out the season unbeaten.
That was not so with Arsenal, which Metro said bowed down before Manchester United and Portsmouth during the so-called Invincible era.
If Liverpool wraps up the current term untainted by a loss, the team will eclipse the epic achievements of Chelsea, City, and Arsenal - all which had their spells of dominance in English football but were humbled by defeats, the report added.
With the way things are going for Liverpool, it seems by default that the team will be crowned the Premier League kings, and that thought was fiercely embraced by supporters of the club.
During the match at West Ham, fans boldly sang, "Now you'd better believe us, we're champions of the world ... We're gonna win the league," and the hubris they exuded was not even out place, ESPN reported.
The report agreed that barring unforeseen events, it is near certain that Premier League for Liverpool is in the bag, and "the only questions remaining are by how many points Liverpool will win it, and how they're going to keep themselves occupied between now and whenever it is signed and sealed."
