Liverpool need just a single point to officially claim the Premier League title, and next on the docket is a visit from Tottenham Hotspur. When you have a home match against a 16th place team, having a lost season and set to be without their talisman (Son), well, this is a foregone conclusion.
Spurs have nothing to play for in the league, at all, but a Liverpool title clinching win means….wait for it…Arsenal are officially eliminated.
