Liverpool’s pursuit of a record-equalling 20th English Premier League title remains on course following a narrow 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decisive 76th-minute strike reinstated Liverpool’s 13-point lead at the summit, leaving them needing just two more wins from their remaining five matches to clinch the championship.The defeat confirmed Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship after just one season back in the top flight, marking a record 13th demotion from the Premier League for the Midlands club. Captain Jamie Vardy described the season as a “total embarrassment,” acknowledging the collective failure of both players and the club.

Meanwhile, Arsenal kept their slim title hopes alive with a commanding 4-0 win against 10-man Ipswich Town. Leandro Trossard netted a brace, while Ipswich’s Leif Davis was shown a straight red card for a reckless tackle on Bukayo Saka. The Gunners now sit second on 66 points, though Liverpool need just two more wins to secure the title.

Elsewhere, Chelsea mounted a dramatic comeback to defeat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage, with Pedro Neto scoring a stoppage-time winner to lift the Blues into fifth place—the final Champions League qualification spot. Wolverhampton Wanderers ensured their Premier League survival with a 1-0 win over Manchester United, courtesy of a stunning free kick by Pablo Sarabia.
