Liverpool extends Premier League lead as Arsenal falters

Liverpool is on the verge of clinching the Premier League title after Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Everton, which left them 11 points behind the leaders with only seven games remaining. Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, strategically rested key players in preparation for an upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid, which has led to questions about their commitment to the title race. Liverpool needs just 13 more points to secure the championship, with their next match against Fulham potentially allowing them to extend their lead further. Should Liverpool maintain their form, they could confirm their title win against Chelsea on May 4, where Arsenal would be expected to give them a guard of honour. The situation has become increasingly bleak for Arsenal, who can only reach a maximum of 85 points if they win all their remaining games. Meanwhile, Everton's point against Arsenal has been a significant boost for Liverpool's title aspirations.
