They then dropped to third after suffering a shock 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace next time out.

With a Merseyside derby defeat at Everton and away draws with West Ham United and Aston Villa still to come, Liverpool ultimately limped over the line in third place - finishing nine points behind champions Man City and seven off runners-up Arsenal.

Slow starts and injuries were ultimately blamed for why the Reds fell short.

While Man City and Arsenal won 14 and 13 of their matches on their travels, losing three times apiece, Liverpool won nine times.

And while Klopp’s men also suffered three defeats, a further seven draws proved costly.

Losing away at Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Everton, they also dropped points at Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion, Luton Town, Man City, Manchester United, West Ham United and Aston Villa.

Picking up 82 points in total, that would have been enough to win the title in some years during the Premier League era.

Meanwhile, on the road, they also only suffered one defeat as they won 11 of their 17 away games so far.

Picking up 44 points at Anfield and 38 points away from home, none of their rivals came close.

At one point they had even looked like going the campaign unbeaten on the road, only to fall short at Fulham when losing 3-2 on a below-par day during the run-in at the start of April.

The only other sides to take points off Slot’s men in front of their own supporters were Arsenal, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Everton and Aston Villa.

It certainly proved to be an upturn in results for the Reds, with it understandable why you might have to settle for a share of the spoils in a Merseyside derby or away at Champions League hopefuls.

But so many times Liverpool headed out on their travels with supporters anticipating a difficult day, only for Slot’s men to record a statement victory.

In only his second away match in the Premier League, his side dismantled Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford - only five months on from it being the stage for when the wheels started to come off during their previous title-challenge.

They clinched narrow 2-1 and 1-0 victories away at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace before having to come from behind to win 3-2 at Southampton.

In truth, the scoreline should have read far more emphatically.

They thrashed West Ham United 5-0 in the London Stadium in their final outing of 2024, before sending out further statements away at Brentford and AFC Bournemouth in January.

Supporters anticipated dropped points, but Darwin Nunez’s stoppage-time brace against the Bees and Mohamed Salah’s own brace against the Cherries resulted in memorable 2-0 victories.

And then there was their first victory at the Etihad in the Premier League since 2015 as Slot’s side beat reigning champions Man City 2-0 to send out another impressive statement.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late winner away at Leicester City in mid-April left Liverpool on the cusp of glory, needing just one more positive result to clinch the title.

But even when held, they had still fought back to earn a share of the spoils in difficult circumstances.

They twice trailed away at Arsenal in late-October, only to leave North London with a late 2-2 draw.

James’ Park too, while they also came from behind to earn a share of the spoils at Everton.

Despite not being at their best, there was still an air of frustration as stoppage-time equalisers denied the Reds victory on both occasions.

There was also frustration when being held by Aston Villa despite coming from behind too, as Darwin Nunez was cursed for missing an open goal in a 2-2 draw at Villa Park.

But now in the cold light of day with the title won, these were valuable points achieved against the odds.

And having initially fallen behind against Nottingham Forest early on at the City Ground in mid-January - against the only side to beat them in the Premier League until the start of April - Diogo Jota’s equaliser earned another valuable point against a side challenging for Champions League qualification against the odds - with the strength of Nuno Espirito Santo’s side long having become clear.

Liverpool have been criticised at times during the 2024/25 season for not being the prettiest or most exciting watch, with it undeniable that they have not been at their best during the run-in prior to their emphatic title-clinching thrashing of Spurs.
