Liverpool strolled towards the Premier League title in the 2024/25 season, with the Reds barely having to put up a fight as their rivals have been dropping points all year.
Arne Slot delivered the ultimate prize in his first year in charge at Anfield, and the speed at which his Reds side marched to title glory has entered the record books.
There have been several teams throughout the Premier League era who have won the title at a canter, securing the trophy well before the final game. But who has done it the fastest?
When can Liverpool win the Premier League title?
Liverpool’s crowning moment is surely only a matter of time.
Top 10 best games from Arsenal's Invincibles season
Football FanCast takes a look at the best games from their Invincible season.
ByAlex RobertsDec 7, 2023 5 Man Utd 1999/00 Title won: 22nd April, 34 games played
Manchester United needn’t rely on an unbeaten run to secure an early title parade, as a rather lacklustre field of challengers saw the Red Devils earn back-to-back titles in record time.
They ended up 18 points clear of runners-up Arsenal and finished the season with 11 straight victories.
The seventh of those – a 3-1 win at Southampton – was the one that confirmed their continued supremacy at the top of English football, with David Beckham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer among the goalscorers that day.
4 Man Utd 2012/13 Title won: 22nd April, 34 games played
Another season where United never looked like loosening their hold on the title occurred 13 years later, when a Red Devils side spearheaded by Wayne Rooney and Golden Boot winner Robin van Persie sauntered to Premier League glory.
Perhaps angered by being denied in the most dramatic fashion by neighbours Man City on the final day in 2011/12, Sir Alex Ferguson’s last season in charge was dominated by his determined side set on revenge.
City could only muster 78 points compared to their total of 89 the year prior, and with the gap as large as 16 points after United’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford, Van Persie’s hat-trick ended up providing a fitting conclusion to a superb campaign.
Every Premier League Golden Boot winner
Some of the Premier League’s greatest goalscorers have won the Golden Boot – here’s every player to earn the coveted prize.
ByStephan GeorgiouMay 26, 2025 3 Man City 2017/18 Title won: 15th April, 33 games played
There was barely any doubt that Man City would win the title in what was Pep Guardiola’s second season in charge – the only surprise was how long they took to get the job done.
Becoming centurions on the final day with a late win over Southampton was the icing on the cake of a marvellous campaign where they won 19 of their first 20 matches.
Just when they were threatening to become invincible, a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool in a Premier League classic merely dented their spirit as the title charge continued.
They could have won the title at home to rivals and closest challengers Man Utd on matchday 32, but a shock 3-2 defeat meant they were made to wait eight more days as United were beaten at home by West Brom to confirm City as champions.
The best points totals in Premier League history
No room for the Invincibles here…
ByJack Salveson HolmesJun 2, 2024 2 Man Utd 2000/01 Title won: 14th April, 33 games played
Man Utd had the cheek to not only win the Premier League with five games still to play, but also lose their final three matches whilst winning the league by 10 points.
It was by no means a vintage season by United’s standards, with the Red Devils only ending on 80 points – pretty low for a championship-winning side.
But they had no need to take home any more points, having built up a 16-point lead by virtue of their win over Coventry City in April 2001, which was followed by a shock 3-0 defeat for runners-up Arsenal at home to Middlesbrough, which gifted United yet another title.
1 Liverpool 2019/20 Title won: 25th June, 31 games played
Liverpool have the peculiar distinction of winning the Premier League in the fastest time despite taking more days than any of the winners that came before them.
Due to the pandemic, Liverpool’s historic campaign was halted in March 2020, at which point they had virtually sealed the title thanks to 27 wins from 29 matches.
Their long unbeaten start to the season was stopped just a fortnight before the league was postponed, with Watford becoming the first side to beat Liverpool in 45 attempts, winning 3-0 at Vicarage Road.
After the league’s restart, Liverpool only played two more games before they were finally confirmed as champions after Chelsea defeated Man City in June 2020.
Liverpool had a record seven games as champions-elect, collecting the trophy at Anfield in their final home game against Chelsea on 22nd July 2020, bringing the longest Premier League season to a close.
