Justice Prevails: Liverpool Could Be Awarded Premier League Titles Stripped from Manchester City

The 2018/19 season was a record-breaking one for Liverpool; albeit a record they never wanted to own.
The 97 points won by Jurgen Klopp’s men was the highest tally in top-flight history not to win the title.
That instead went to Manchester City, who defeated Brighton on the final day of the campaign to finish a solitary point clear of the Reds.
It’s a title race that now, with City finally being found guilty of more than 100 charges of financial impropriety, has taken on a different context.
Liverpool came into the 2025/26 season with high hopes, having won the Premier League title by a clear 10 points in Arne Slot’s first campaign in charge. They made a fast start, too, winning their first five league matches on the spin, although often leaving things very late in the day.






Although it doesn’t stand out as a particularly important fixture on paper, Liverpool’s Champions League date with Azerbaijani minnows Qarabag in January 2026 was significant.
