Liverpool’s 2024/25 season is set to end in success with the Reds on course to claim the Premier League title.

Even after Sunday’s loss to Fulham, it would take a miracle for Liverpool to lose their 11-point lead against Arsenal at this stage of the season, especially with the Gunners now completely focused on the UEFA Champions League.

A mixture of Arne Slot’s new tactical ideas and rival teams falling off have all led to Liverpool blitzing their way to the Premier League title this season, with few fans predicting the Dutch manager to achieve something as big as this in his first year in charge.

Yet eagle-eyed supporters have now noticed something interesting about their goal record this year when compared to last season, a finding that paints a stark picture as to how different the Premier League has changed in the last 12 months.

Liverpool had the exact same goals for and goals against record at this stage last season

As noted by Reddit user Martonian27, Liverpool have the exact same goals for and goals against record in the Premier League this season after 31 games as they did last year after the same amount of matches, with the Reds only two points better off this campaign.

With Liverpool eventually dropping off as Arsenal and Manchester City went on to battle for the title until the final game of the season, looking at the table from a year ago goes to show just how much can change in the Premier League in just 12 months.

Fourth-place Tottenham this season sit 14th after a disastrous year under Ange Postecoglou, with the Australian manager likely to become the latest coach sacked in the Premier League if things go poorly in the UEFA Europa League.

And for Liverpool, looking at where the Reds where last season to now only goes to show that the Anfield side have simply been better off than their Premier League rivals, with the Merseyside giants managing to maintain their level of quality whilst also avoiding major injuries or drops in form.

Liverpool’s final points tally last season should end Arsenal comeback fears

With Arsenal gaining a singular point on Liverpool over the weekend and the Gunners this week enjoying arguably their biggest result at the Emirates Stadium in a 3-0 win against Real Madrid, there’s a reason why some pessimistic Red supporters are worried about a potential comeback.

However, with Liverpool ending last season on 82 points, just one point shy of the grand total Arsenal can finish on if they win every remaining Premier League game this campaign, fears that the north London side can make some sort of comeback are not to be taken seriously.

Indeed, Liverpool’s march to the Premier League title will be one to savour for supporters, and the threat that Arsenal could somehow make a push is a scenario that looks as unlikely as ever in the final seven games of the season.
