The Covid-19 outbreak delayed Liverpool's Premier League celebrations, but with games restarting in June, when can they lift the title?

After making the best-ever start to a season by a club in Europe’s top five leagues in 2019-20, Liverpool were on a relentless march towards the Premier League title.

But Jurgen Klopp's side were struck a cruel blow by the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, with real concerns that the Premier League could be cancelled early.

Luckily for the Reds and their supporters, who are hoping to end decades of disappointment, the Premier League restarted in June after three months of no games, meaning the fight continues for silverware.

But when can Liverpool actually win the league? Goal takes a look.

Liverpool can potentially win the Premier League on June 24 against Crystal Palace. However, that will depend on a number of factors.

The first factor is the outcome of Manchester City's game against Burnley on June 22.

If City lose to Burnley and Liverpool defeat Palace, a gap of 26 points will have opened with just 24 points left to play for and they will be crowned champions at Anfield.

If City draw against Burnley and Liverpool win, a gap of 25 points will have opened - again with just 24 points available to play for.

Should City beat Burnley and Liverpool win against Palace, then the next chance Liverpool have to win the Premier League comes on June 25, if City fail to win against Chelsea.

If both sides win the above matches, Liverpool can win the Premier League on July 2 by securing a point against Man City at the Etihad.

Arsenal’s Invincibles also won with four games to spare, racking up 90 points in the 2003-04 season to become the first and only side to be crowned Premier League champions without losing a single game.
