Liverpool are now an astounding 19 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over West Ham United. Read our player ratings here!
It’s one thing to be a title favorite but it’s another thing to be this dominant. With a 2-0 win over West Ham United, Liverpool has 70 points from 24 matches. More importantly, they’re 19 points clear of Manchester United in second place.
With yet another clean sheet, the Reds now have ten clean sheets on the season. More than any other club with five tied with eight clean sheets. With this total, Liverpool are on pace for 16 clean sheets by the end of the season, they had 21 in 2018-19 and still missed out on the title by a single point.

Which truly puts what they’re doing into perspective.
The win helps Liverpool cement their quest for their first top-flight championship since the 1989-90 season.
