Tottenham and manager Ange Postecoglou are now in the spotlight as Liverpool edges closer to winning the Premier League title.
Liverpool is on the verge of clinching the title after Arsenal was held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace. A defeat for Arsenal would have secured Liverpool's record-equalling 20th English title, but the draw means Liverpool needs only a draw against Tottenham to secure the championship.
Currently, Liverpool holds a 12-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, who have four games remaining and an inferior goal difference of +34 compared to Liverpool's +44. With five matches left, Liverpool can match the 20 titles won by Manchester United if they avoid defeat against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.
Despite Arsenal's efforts, including a recent 4-0 victory over Ipswich, they have delayed Liverpool's celebrations. Arsenal's focus is now shifting to their upcoming Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, marking their first semi-final appearance since 2009.
Manager Mikel Arteta opted to rest Bukayo Saka against Palace due to injury concerns, while Palace's Oliver Glasner also made strategic decisions by leaving out key forwards Mateta and Ismaila Sarr.
The match saw Arsenal take an early lead through Jakub Kiwior, who scored from a set-piece routine. However, Palace equalized through Eberechi Eze, followed by Arsenal regaining the lead with a goal from Leandro Trossard. In a dramatic finish, Mateta scored a late equalizer, leaving Liverpool just a draw away from the title.
As the title race intensifies, Liverpool's path to the championship appears increasingly certain, while Arsenal prepares for their crucial Champions League encounter.
