After a long and uncertain wait, this Wednesday the Premier returns and the Liverpool, who returns visiting Everton on Sunday in the Merseyside derby, will fight to celebrate as soon as possible what would be his first English league in 30 years, since 1990. Liverpool, still the current champion of Europe, because due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Champions League was also suspended, it is only 6 points from the longed for wing.
Liverpool were 2 Premier victories when on March 13 the pandemic prompted the English championship to be suspended. Jürgen Klopp's team has a 25-point advantage over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City (who on Wednesday's return from the Premier League receive Arsenal in a pending match).
From then on Liverpool had to live a tense wait. As soon as the suspension occurred, the Telegraph newspaper reported that there would be a certain consensus in English football that, given the enormous distance he has as the Premier's leader with respect to the second, Liverpool should be awarded the title of champion. An executive from Anfield's own club would have told this media that there would be little opposition to it.
But, as everyone wanted, what is to be decided in this Premier will be decided on the playing fields. With the empty stands. But competing and not in the offices. And, if City lost to Arsenal today, Liverpool would be England's champion (for the 19th time in their history) beating Everton at Goodison Park.
It was Tuesday, April 28, when it was 30 years since Liverpool last lifted an English league. Now the team of Klopp is about to end his hex with the same tricks with which on June 1, 2019 he achieved the sixth Champions in the history of the club. The magical trident Salah-Firmino-Mané. Alisson under the sticks and a defense led by Virgil van Dijk and with the probably best pair of wingers in the world (Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson). It is the least beaten behind in the Premier, with 21 goals conceded (followed by 25 by Sheffield United). The solidity and quality of the captain, Jordan Henderson, on average.
Mohamed Salah, with 16 goals, is the top scorer for Liverpool in this Premier, followed by 14 by Sadio Mané. Apart from winning the Premier, in these 9 remaining days the Klopp team is before the possibility of also breaking several records.
