Arsenal were backed to battle Manchester City for the title this season but Liverpool proved unbeatable this season. Slot defied all expectations to match his Jurgen Klopp’s league-title haul.
This was Liverpool’s first title for five years with City dropping off this season, while Arsenal failed to keep up after being blighted by injuries and are set to be runners-up for the third year running.
Liverpool can still surpass City’s 91-point tally from last season, which would put them in esteemed company. Only 14 teams, including Liverpool on three occasions under Klopp, have hit 90 points in the Premier League era.
The newly-crowned champions will be presented with the Premier League trophy after their final home game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25, the first time the club’s supporters will have actually seen their side lift the top-flight title in person since May 1990.
