Liverpool were the big winners of the Easter weekend and are now the favourites to win the Premier League title.
The Reds came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday, with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah combining to secure a fourth win in the last five league outings.
Together with Arsenal’s stalemate draw against Manchester City a few hours later, the win sent Liverpool back to the top of the table with 67 points and nine games left.
Arsenal slipped to second two points behind Jurgen Klopp’s men, while City are a point further back.
According to Opta’s supercomputer, Sunday’s results mean Liverpool are now firmly in the box seat to lift the Premier League trophy and deliver a fairytale finale to Klopp’s nine-year spell at Anfield.
The Reds have a 47.7 percent chance of winning their first league title since they triumphed in 2020 at the end of a Covid-19 affected season, up from 35.3 percent before this weekend.
