Liverpool has won the 2024/25 Premier League title after a sensational first season in charge for Arne Slot – and there are still some records available to the Reds.
Sunday’s win over Tottenham, coming just days after Arsenal drew to Crystal Palace, officially means that no one can now catch Liverpool in the table. The Reds have won the title with four games to spare, and will be crowned on the final day of the season (May 25) at Anfield.
It has been a superb season for Slot, who wins the Premier League title at his very first attempt, having taken over from Jurgen Klopp less than 12 months ago.
With four games still remaining, Liverpool still has the chance to claim some records…
Most titles won
As you’ll no doubt be fully aware already, this is Liverpool’s 20th league title, which means the Reds move back level with Manchester United for the most leagues won.
Liverpool has the edge over its rival when it comes to overall major honors, and it will be hoping to retake the lead for league titles next season, and getting back on its perch as Sir Alex Ferguson would say.
Most points won in a season
Unfortunately, this record has already long gone. Should Liverpool win all of its remaining games, it will end the season on 94 points – a tally that is not to be underestimated, despite the efforts of some of the Reds’ rivals.

They know though that they won’t be able to break the record for most points won in a top-flight season, with Manchester City still holding on to that accolade after accumulating 100 points in the 2017/18 season. Liverpool itself narrowly missed out on breaking the 100-point barrier when it last won the league, finishing the 2019/20 campaign on 99 points.
Biggest winning margin
This is another record that Man City currently holds, having won the 2017/18 title by 19 points ahead of Manchester United. Liverpool again came close to breaking it, having won the 2019/20 title by 18 points.
This could be the season in which the Reds claim that accolade though. Having beaten Tottenham, Arne Slot’s side now sits 15 points ahead of Arsenal, and with four league games to go and the Gunners putting their focus on the Champions League, that gap could easily grow over the next few weeks.
Most wins in a season
Again, this is a record that has been and gone for Liverpool. The current Reds side could still finish the season with 29 wins to their name, although that still leaves them a fair way off the record for most wins in a season.
That honor is shared by the Man City teams of 2017/18 and 2018/19, and the 2019/20 Liverpool side with 32 wins each – unsurprising given the points those teams recorded.

Goal records
Liverpool is going to finish well short of most of the goal records for a season despite the haul against Tottenham. The Reds are currently on 80, and would have to produce something incredible to beat Man City’s tally of 106 goals from the 2017/18 season.
There is an outside chance of the Reds beating the record for the most goals scored away from home in a season. That record is currently held by Brendan Rodgers’ 2013/14 Liverpool side that finished agonisingly close to winning the title, having scored 48 times on the road.
The current Reds side is on 41 at the moment with just two away games remaining, and considering they’re at Chelsea and Brighton, it is definitely a longshot. Still, stranger things have happened.
Salah’s records
It’s not just the team that could be eyeing up some records, with Liverpool’s talisman close to making more history.
Having already broken the record for most goal involvements in a season, Mohamed Salah is just two short of equaling Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s record of 20 assists in a season.
There is still a slim chance Salah could break Erling Haaland’s record of 36 goals in a single season, although he would have to score another 8 over the remaining five games, which certainly isn’t beyond his capabilities, even if it is unlikely.
In any case though, it has been a sensational season for the Egyptian, and he will almost certainly win the Golden Boot and Playmaker Award, having bagged 27 goals and 18 assists so far. That would be a fourth Golden Boot for him, putting him level with Thierry Henry for the most wont.
And should he win the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, he will become the first ever three-time winner. He currently sits on two, alongside six other players – Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Kevin De Bruyne.
