If there were any doubts, everything became clear last weekend, which ended with Manchester City's defeat against Tottenham and with Liverpool opening 22 points ahead of the Premier League runners-up. The confirmation is just a matter of time - With 13 matches remaining, the Reds need only six wins to reach the title.



But among the expected achievement, Klopp has many good reasons to keep his team focused. If some achievements are difficult to reach, others not so much, and they can leave this Liverpool among the best teams ever in the competition.

1- Fewer defeats and consecutive games without losing

Arsenal is the target to beat in these categories. The Gunners of Arsene Wenger won the Premier League in 2003/04 without losing. In total (between two seasons) they managed to get 49 games without a defeat. Right now, Liverpool count 42. Until there, the Reds must overtake difficulties at the Emirates against Arsenal and Etihad against Manchester City.

2- Most wins and consecutive wins

Team to beat: Manchester City. In 2017/18, Guardiola's team managed 18 consecutive victories in the competition. Liverpool was close, but the draw against Manchester United interrupted the streak. They are currently in a series of 16 victories and the new record may arrive on February 29, against Watford. To achieve the 32 triumphs of Manchester City (2016/17, 2017/18), Liverpool needs to win all the matches until the matchday 34 - and there would still remain 4 rounds to increase it.





3- Turning Anfield into the most feared stadium

To achieve the highest number of consecutive victories at home, Liverpool only needs to win the next game against West Ham, as they have now equaled the record of 20 set by Manchester City in 2012. To overcome the record of most victories at home in a single Premier League, Liverpool needs to win all the outings until the end of the League - The record breakers Chelsea (2005/06), Manchester United (2010/11) and Manchester City (2011/12) only drew once.

4- An inconvenient visitor

If Liverpool continues their winning form, they may be able to reach 17 away wins in the game against Arsenal and thus beat the record of 16 that Man. City set in the 2017/18 season. This means winning the next six away games. In that season, Guardiola's side suffered two draws and a defeat away from home - so far this Liverpool only drew at Old Trafford against Manchester United and therefore has a margin of error of five points to manage.

5- Best attack and best defense - An almost impossible goal

Between all the records, this one seems to be the most difficult to achieve. In 2004/05, José Mourinho's Chelsea ended the Premier League conceding an incredible mark of just 15 goals. For Liverpool to match that mark, they would have to stay until the end of the championship without conceding goals. As for goals scored, the record is in the hands of Manchester City and comes from the previous season. Guardiola's team scored 106, 46 more than Liverpool currently did. To get an idea, Klopp's team would need to score more than 3.5 goals per game to beat that mark.
