Can Liverpool Still Become Champions Of England? by qwenu: 11:38am On Mar 06, 2019
The English premiership remains the most exciting football league in the world not just for its razzmatazz and fanfare but also how dramatic the turn out of matches can become.

When the 2018/2019 season started, not many fancied Liverpool to win the league. However, at the start of the season, Liverpool showed that perhaps this could be the year of not just hope but verified promise. Hence they continued with the form of 2017/18 season that saw them beat Manchester City en route losing in an unsurprising fashion to then Ronaldo-led Real Madrid at the European Champion League final in the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium, Kiev, Ukraine.

With the three-pronged attacking prowess of Egypt’s Mo’ Salah, Senegal’s Mané, and Brazil’s Roberto Firmino that has accounted for over 65% of Liverpool’s goals till date; Liverpool started the season in an impressive fashion giving the bookmakers favourite, Guardiola’s Manchester City, a run for his money.

They went seven points clear of Manchester City in the title race after 20 games by December 2018 owing to City’s capitulation which saw them lose to the likes of Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Everyone thought that this could be the year Liverpool broke the jinx of not winning a Premier League crown in thirty years but Manchester City wouldn’t let it go easily with a breathtaking victory at the Etihad Stadium on 3rd January 2019 which saw the deficit between both sides drop to just four points.

It became a case of “catch me if you can” as Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle had to do Liverpool a favour beating City but Liverpool failed to capitalize in extending their lead when they withdrew with Leicester City.

Sunday, 3rd of March 2019 in the Merseyside derby with Everton was one which became significant in the title race as a victory for Liverpool would have seen them leapfrog the Citizens by two points in the standing after City had got a slim victory over Bournemouth.
