Liverpool are so close to the Premier League title, they can start to feel it.
With their 1-0 win over Leicester on Super Sunday, Arne Slot's side responded to Arsenal's 4-0 victory at Ipswich to go 13 points clear of their rivals once again - and within one favourable result of winning the Premier League title.

That result could come on Wednesday night when Arsenal host Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports.
Should the Gunners lose against Palace, then Liverpool would be crowned champions without having to kick another ball.
What happens if Arsenal beat Crystal Palace?
If Arsenal win against Palace, then the Gunners will move 10 points behind Liverpool having played a game more.
With five matches left for Liverpool, that would mean Slot's side would need to beat Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield to secure the Premier League title next Sunday. That game is live on Sky Sports, kick-off 4.30pm.
If Arsenal draw against Palace, then Liverpool would not be crowned champions as they would be 12 points ahead of the Gunners - who could still pick up 12 more points between now and the end of the season. However, Arsenal would have to achieve a 10-goal swing in the goal-difference tally.
However, if Arsenal draw against Palace, then Liverpool would only need a draw against Spurs to clinch the title.
So overall, Liverpool need to match whatever Arsenal do on Wednesday when they face Spurs the following Sunday to win the Premier League title. If the Gunners lose, they are champions.
If Liverpool clinch the Premier League title against Spurs, they could then get a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge when they play Chelsea on May 4, live on Sky Sports.
Could Liverpool win the league when Arsenal visit Anfield?
Yes, there is a scenario where that happens, but it would need Arsenal to make up at least four points on Liverpool ahead of that game.
If Liverpool come into that game with a pre-match lead of nine, eight or seven points, a draw would be enough to win them the title. If it is less than that, the hosts would need to win to secure the Premier League trophy.
When would Liverpool get the trophy?
If the Reds do, as expected, go on to win the league, then they would be presented with the Premier League trophy after their final home game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25.
It would be the first time the club's supporters will have actually seen their side lift the top-flight title in person since May 1990.
Premier League title odds: What do the bookmakers say?
As far as the bookies are concerned, this season's Premier League title race is already over!
Would there be a trophy parade?
Given Liverpool's fans were unable to celebrate their previous Premier League title win in 2020 with the team and players due to Covid restrictions, the Reds would be expected to go on an open-top bus parade with the trophy this time around, although that will all be confirmed at a later date once they have been crowned champions.
How many Premier League titles have Liverpool won?
If the Reds are, as expected, to go on and win the league, that would draw them level with arch-rivals Manchester United on 20 top-flight titles, two of which would have come in the Premier League era.
Which English club has the most major honours?
Liverpool have 19 league titles and 20 domestic cups, while United boast a tally of 20 and 19, respectively. So this would push Liverpool ahead of their arch rivals in terms of domestic success.
Liverpool also edge success on the European and world stage with 14 trophies, compared with United's eight.
A 14-trophy gulf divides United and third-placed Arsenal, with the Gunners collecting 31 major honours over the past 133 years, followed by Chelsea (28), Manchester City (27), Aston Villa (21), Tottenham (17) and Everton (15).
Major trophies include Division One/ Premier League titles, FA Cup, League Cup, European Cup/ Champions League, UEFA Cup/ Europa Cup, Cup Winners' Cup, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and Inter-Continental Cup.
When were Liverpool last crowned Premier League champions?
Liverpool last won the championship back in the delayed 2019/20 Covid season when Jurgen Klopp's side amassed 99 points en route to the title, ending a 30-year wait for a top-flight title in the process.
