Liverpool are one victory away from clinching the Premier League title after a 1-0 win over Leicester City on April 20, 2025, while the defeat sealed Leicester’s relegation. Arsenal delayed Liverpool’s coronation with a 4-0 rout of Ipswich Town, Wolves stunned Manchester United 1-0 to secure safety, and Chelsea climbed to fifth with a dramatic 2-1 comeback over Fulham.
Liverpool’s Title in Sight
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s 76th-minute goal at King Power Stadium brought Liverpool within one win of a record-equaling 20th English league title. The Reds struggled against a desperate Leicester side, hitting the woodwork through Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, while Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi struck the post and Conor Coady had a goal disallowed. Alexander-Arnold’s left-footed strike under goalkeeper Mads Hermansen sparked jubilant scenes, with the defender ripping off his shirt in celebration.
Liverpool can secure the championship with a win against Tottenham on April 27 or if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace midweek. Leicester’s loss confirmed their drop to the Championship, a bitter end for the 2016 champions.
Score: Leicester City 0-1 Liverpool
Arsenal Keep Pressure On
Arsenal ensured the title race remains alive with a 4-0 demolition of Ipswich Town. Leandro Trossard scored in the 14th and 69th minutes, Gabriel Martinelli added a goal in the 28th, and Ethan Nwaneri completed the rout in the 88th. The Gunners, buoyed by their midweek Champions League win over Real Madrid, face Crystal Palace next, aiming to delay Liverpool’s title celebrations.
Ipswich, stuck in 18th, are virtually relegated, with a maximum of 36 points possible—matching 17th-placed West Ham’s current tally.
Score: Arsenal 4-0 Ipswich Town
Wolves Sink Manchester United
Wolverhampton Wanderers secured their Premier League status with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United, marking a club-record fifth consecutive league win. Substitute Pablo Sarabia’s stunning 77th-minute free kick was the difference, curling into the top corner just three minutes after his introduction. The defeat marked United’s 15th league loss this season, a Premier League-era club record, and their eighth home defeat, the worst since 1962-63.
With only 38 points, United are guaranteed their lowest-ever Premier League points total, unable to surpass their previous low of 58. “We need to score goals to win games,” manager Ruben Amorim said, highlighting United’s attacking woes.
Score: Manchester United 0-1 Wolves
Chelsea’s Late Rally
Chelsea bolstered their Champions League hopes with a 2-1 comeback win over Fulham. Alex Iwobi put Fulham ahead in the 20th minute, but Chelsea struck twice late: Tyrique George equalized in the 83rd, and Pedro Neto scored the winner in stoppage time. The result lifted Chelsea to fifth, ahead of Nottingham Forest on goal difference, with the Premier League set to gain an extra Champions League spot next season.
Score: Fulham 1-2 Chelsea
Looking Ahead
Liverpool are poised to claim the title, with Tottenham next in their sights. Arsenal must maintain their form to keep the race alive, while Manchester United’s struggles deepen under Amorim. Chelsea’s resurgence strengthens their top-four push, and Wolves’ remarkable run showcases their revival. As the Premier League season nears its end, the stakes remain sky-high.
