Stephen Warnock: Liverpool need five more wins to clinch Premier League glory (Interview for NewBettingSites.uk)
Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has told NewBettingSites.uk that the Reds are within touching distance of Premier League glory, and that he is expecting more than 500,000 supporters to take to the streets of the city to celebrate their trophy parade.
Arne Slot’s men are 12 points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal with nine games to play, although they face fierce Merseyside rivals Everton when they resume their title challenge on 2nd April.
Speaking to NewBettingSites.uk, Warnock said: “The position Liverpool are in now for the Premier League is huge. You would hope it will be pretty straightforward from now until the end of the season. There will be questions around losing two games on the trot and exiting the Champions League and the Carabao Cup in one week. Losing the cup final to Newcastle at Wembley in the manner they did was quite poor.
“They are straight back into a Merseyside derby and Everton look a more organised team these days. David Moyes has done a magnificent job since going back there. The Toffees will be desperate to slow down Liverpool’s momentum, but it requires a decent charge from Arsenal as well.
“It all depends on whether the Gunners can put the pressure on and make Liverpool feel the heat again. It will be an interesting run-in. Liverpool probably need five more wins to get them over the line, but with the games they have at home, I’m sure they will feel comfortable doing that.”
Fans are desperate for a trophy parade
Liverpool’s celebrations of their last Premier League title triumph in 2020 were limited by the coronavirus pandemic, but Warnock is expecting the fans to flock to salute their heroes this time around.
He added: “The last parade in Liverpool was for the Champions League in 2019 and they had about half a million people on the streets for that. The players and the fans are desperate to experience that again at the end of this season.
“I was one of the lucky 200 people that was there when Liverpool lifted the trophy when they won the Premier League during the coronavirus restrictions of 2020 and I remember looking around and thinking how unfair it was for the players. There was so much effort put in behind the scenes to seal that title and the fans could not even enjoy it.
“The Premier League this season was the be all and end all - people have got excited because they did not realise how good this Liverpool team could be this year or whether they could compete in three competitions for so long. The fans would have accepted a top-four finish and maybe a Carabao Cup or an FA Cup along the way.
“A lot of people got caught up in how good Liverpool were at the start of the season because it is so difficult to continue that in the early months after Christmas - that is where it becomes such a tough division to win.”
