JetServiceNL Special: The Reds dominates, title chances soar

Written by: JSNL Team - 02 December 2024

Liverpool's commanding performance against Manchester City on Sunday has significantly bolstered their chances of securing the Premier League title. According to statistical analysis by Opta, the Reds now have an 85.1% probability of claiming the championship under the guidance of manager Arne Slot.

Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah sealed a convincing victory for Liverpool, leaving Manchester City's title defense hopes hanging by a thread. The Citizens' chances of retaining the championship have dwindled to a mere fraction of what they were before the match.

Prior to the Anfield showdown, both Manchester City and Arsenal held a 9.5% probability of finishing first. However, City's defeat has reduced their chances to 4.4%, while Arsenal's slight increase to 9.8% offers a glimmer of hope for their first title since the 2003/2004 season.

With Liverpool's probability of winning the league now at a staggering 85.1%, it appears that the title race may be all but decided. While there are still 25 matches remaining in the Premier League season, Liverpool's dominance suggests that it would take a monumental upset to prevent them from lifting the trophy.

Liverpool's 2024 season: A tale of dominance and disappointment

The 2024 season for Liverpool FC was a year of contrasting fortunes. While the Reds showcased moments of brilliance and dominance, they also faced significant challenges and disappointments.

Early season Ppromise

Liverpool started the season with a strong intent, winning several matches convincingly. Their attacking prowess, led by the likes of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez, was on full display. The team's high-pressing style and clinical finishing were a joy to watch.

However, as the season progressed, Liverpool encountered a significant slump. A series of draws and losses derailed their momentum, and they found themselves slipping down the Premier League table. Injuries to key players, coupled with tactical issues, contributed to their decline.

A resurgence and European glory

Despite the domestic struggles, Liverpool found solace in European competitions. The Reds produced some memorable performances in the Champions League, showcasing their ability to rise to the occasion on the biggest stage. A thrilling run in the competition culminated in a hard-fought victory in the final, bringing European glory back to Anfield.

Overall, the 2024 season was a mixed bag for Liverpool. While their domestic performance was inconsistent, their European success provided a glimmer of hope. The club's supporters will be hoping for a more balanced campaign in the upcoming season, with the aim of challenging for both domestic and European honors.
