00:00Liverpool are on the verge of being crowned Premier League champions for a record equalling
00:0620th time. Arnish Slott's side moved to within touching distance thanks to a 1-0 win over Leicester
00:13with Trent Alexander-Arnold's goal relegating the Foxes and giving the Reds a commanding lead.
00:20A draw between Arsenal and Crystal Palace midweek all but sealed the deal,
00:25leaving Liverpool with an unassailable cushion at the summit.
00:28Even if Arsenal will, all their remaining matches, their inferior goal difference,
00:33mean Liverpool only need to avoid defeat against Tottenham this weekend to be officially confirmed as champions.
00:41And what an achievement it is. While the title race may have lacked late-season drama,
00:46it shouldn't detract from the scale of Liverpool's success. Slott arrived with no Premier League
00:51experience and yet in his first season he's guided Liverpool through the most gruelling league in
00:57Europe tactically and physically and emerged on top.
01:01He is within the upper echelons of head coaches, managers in Europe because I think a lot of people
01:09agree he is up there now but can he take himself to the next level? Can he really prove I am as good
01:15as what is else there?
01:16In an era where managerial tenures are short and expectations sky-high,
01:22Slott's adaptability to unify the dressing room and continue the club's high-intensity
01:28playing style deserves enormous credit.
01:31With Manchester City faltering and Arsenal unable to maintain consistency,
01:36Liverpool seized their moment. But this wasn't a title won by default, it was built on relentless
01:42consistency, tactical clarity and a squad tuned to peak under pressure.
01:48It may not have had the final day fireworks of years gone by but this title deserves more fanfare
01:53in a league where only seven clubs have won it 33 seasons. Lifting it is no small feat.
02:00So yes, give Liverpool their flowers but make sure there's a bouquet, especially for Arne Schlott.
02:08He's turned potential into silverware and in doing so joined elite company.
