Liverpool set for Premier League coronation, Ipswich for relegation

Liverpool could seal the Premier League on Sunday should the runaway leaders condemn Leicester to relegation and Arsenal suffer a Champions League hangover by losing at Ipswich Town.

A victory for Arsenal at Portman Road could also see Ipswich mathematically relegated should West Ham and Wolves win.

Unlike the battles for the league title and to avoid the drop, the race for a place in next season’s Champions League is set to go down to the wire.

Just five points separate Newcastle in third from seventh-placed Aston Villa ahead of their clash at Villa Park.

13 points clear at the top of the table with six games to go, it is only a question of when not if Liverpool will move level with Manchester United on a record 20 English top-flight titles.

Two more wins will finish the job for Arne Slot’s men and they could not ask for more obliging fixtures as a trip to beleaguered Leicester is followed by struggling Tottenham’s trip to Anfield.

However, the title race may not even go beyond Easter Sunday should Ipswich inflict Arsenal’s first league defeat since February.

The focus of attention for Mikel Arteta’s men has been switched to Champions League glory after an emphatic 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
