Liverpool Near Title as Leicester Face Relegation in the England Premier League

Liverpool edged closer to their 20th English Premier League title with a 1-0 win over Leicester City, thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold late goal. Leicester, now relegated after nine straight home defeats, failed to score at home since December. Liverpool can secure the title if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace or in their next match against Tottenham.

After the final whistle at King Power Stadium, Leicester City's fate was sealed—they have been relegated from the Premier League following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on April 20, 2025. The decisive moment came 14 minutes from time when Trent Alexander-Arnold, returning from a five-week injury absence, scored what may be his final goal for Liverpool before a potential move to Real Madrid.

Liverpool, now on the brink of a historic 20th top-flight title, will be crowned champions if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace. If not, they can seal the title next week at Anfield against Tottenham. Despite Mohamed Salah hitting both posts early in the game and Liverpool missing several chances, it was Alexander-Arnold who capitalized on a loose ball to finally break the deadlock.

Leicester’s home form has been disastrous, with this marking their ninth consecutive defeat at the King Power and a shocking goalless home run since December. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side even had a goal disallowed in the second half due to a foul on Alisson Becker. Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his team’s persistence, while Alexander-Arnold, keeping quiet about his future, cherished the win as another special moment in a potentially farewell season.
