By the Numbers: Liverpool's Slim but Existent Title Shot

After a series of disappointing results, the Reds have seen their chances to win the Premier League Title drop to an admittedly very low percentage. But that percentage is not zero. So, how can the Reds still win the Premier League? Let's take a look at the numbers.

Liverpool currently sit third in the Premier League table with 75 points, trailing Arsenal (80pts) by 5 points and Manchester City (79pts) by 4.

Liverpool and Arsenal have 3 matches remaining while Manchester City still has 4 to play.

If Liverpool wins their remaining matches, then Jurgen Klopp's squad will finish with 84 points. We're going to assume that the Reds will be victorious in all their remaining fixtures, which feature Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Wolves.

If Arsenal win their remaining matches, they'll finish with 89 points, but the Reds need the Gunners to finish with no more than 84 points.

For this to happen, Arsenal must have one of the following combination of results: LLL; DLL; DDD; WLL; WLD. Arsenal's opponents for their last three games are Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Everton.

If Manchester City win their remaining matches, they'll finish with 91 points. Again, the Reds need City to finish with no more than 84 points, so City will need to have one of the following combination of results: LLLL; DLLL; DDLL; DDDL; DDDD; WLLL; WDLL; WDDL.

Pep Guardiola's side will face Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham in their remaining fixtures.

Arsenal went 3-0 in the first set of fixtures against their final 3 opponents, but the matches against Manchester United and Everton were close, and Bournemouth is a team in good form.

A scenario could surely play out where the Red Devils earn a surprise victory against the Gunners and either Everton or Bournemouth pull out a draw.

City lost to Wolves in their first matchup, and Tottenham engineered a fantastic draw at the Etihad in December.

However, City beat both Fulham and West Ham soundly in their first meetings, so we'll need better results in those matchups for sure.

It might be unlikely judging by City's current form, but it's not impossible that we could see the defending champs suffer some upset draws and losses.

Overall, Liverpool were certainly in a better position in the Premier League Title race before this run of bad results, but if the Reds can win their remaining matches and get some help from others, then there may be a chance yet.
