I felt so alive watching Arsenal draw – but this is what Liverpool squad would want

A point. Then Liverpool supporters can celebrate.

Sunday will likely be the day it is confirmed what has been known for the majority of the campaign – Arne Slot’s team are going to win the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur are the opponents and will surely have one eye on their upcoming semi-final in the Europa League. Ange Postecoglou has hinted that he could rest key players with that in mind.

Our fan jury have their say on what has been an exciting week for the Reds and what should be a glorious weekend.

Sunday, then. It’s shaping up to be quite the day.

Liverpool can win the Premier League at a full Anfield and, for the first time, doing so is wholly in our own hands. It’s a prospect that means so much to so many of us, yet for so many different reasons. Football’s great like that.

It’s an opportunity immensely well-earned by Arne Slot’s Reds. While a point against Tottenham Hotspur will be enough to secure the title with four matches to spare, it’s another game we’ll want to win.

Sunday’s 1-0 victory at Leicester City again showcased the durability and flexibility that has been such a feature of Liverpool’s title charge. Although plenty of openings were crafted, it had to be ground out. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s superbly struck winner was some moment. However his contract situation develops, it’s a goal that will live long in the memory.

And it’s played a big part in forging this weekend’s opportunity. Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs remain inconsistent and are often porous, but they still possess notable quality, which we’ll have to outmanoeuvre.

Wherever you’ll be following the game from, however long you’ve waited for such a day, whoever you’ll be with or you’ll be thinking of, have a brilliant time on Sunday.

Let’s get Anfield bouncing and let’s win that 20th top-flight title.

I swear my heart stopped for a brief moment on Wednesday night as Eddie Nketiah got a strike away that was just about scrambled away to stop Crystal Palace taking a 1-2 lead over Arsenal, but I’d have never thought at the start of the season I wouldn’t have wanted that goal to hit the back of the net.

Like many Reds, I was hoping for a draw midweek so we can win the league title at Anfield, in the ground this Sunday surrounded by friends and familiar faces. If the rumours were true about the squad gathering to watch the game together, I’m sure they’d have all been beaming with delight come the final whistle after Mateta’s late equaliser which will be forever etched into the minds of Liverpool fans when we look back on season.

With all the talk in recent months about the title race being over, I felt so alive just watching that match and I think that anxiety, drama and release will only be amplified in the ground come Sunday when hopefully we leave the turnstiles as Premier League Champions once more, to a sky of red smoke and packed boozers to kickstart a month of celebrations.

The deep breath before the plunge. The final step is before us. The shimmering, heavenly Premier League title stands in touching distance. But we must draw back, for now at least. Our final step is not without difficulties.

Whilst Tottenham appear to be a team in decline, we would be foolish to assume that the job on Sunday will be easy. Some fellow Liverpool comrades that I have spoken with believe Sunday will be a breeze; I don’t agree. We need to be prepared for battle on Sunday. We need to treat the game like a cup final, like a win is the only option. That way, we best prepare ourselves for making the final, tantalising step to glory.

The stars appear to have aligned for us by giving us the opportunity to clinch the title on home turf. I was straddling two horses last night( figuratively) as Arsenal battled Crystal Palace; upon the one hand I was in a fit of fever when Palace drew level and nearly clinched the game, and yet I was also in a frenzy with the possibility of title celebrations being more like a whimper than a bang if the title had been secured on Wednesday evening.

It feels like the football Gods have blessed Liverpool with the opportunity to celebrate properly the immense achievement of domestic champions. The players, the club, and the fans need to seize the opportunity on Sunday with a blockbuster performance worthy of.
