Why is Liverpool FC’s 2019-20 season the greatest Premier League campaign?

Liverpool FC has historically been one of the greatest English clubs to have ever come through. It has the second-highest Premier League titles with a whopping 18 titles, just 2 behind Manchester United.

Liverpool FC has also won the highest European Cups for an English club, with 6 trophies to their name. It was without a doubt the best team of the World then, but as time passed by, Liverpool FCc gradually lost its dominance on the World stage as well as in the Premier League. But, having missed out on the Premier League title of 2018/19 by just a point, The Reds have ensured they win the title this season, for the first time in the Premier League era.

Liverpool FC, under Klopp, has played an attractive brand of football this season. Gegenpress has been used to the optimum by the team, and even though the front 3 haven’t been at their scoring best, the team hasn’t fallen short on goals. Trent Alexander Arnold has unleashed the beast in him and has provided the second-most assists this season, only behind De Bruyne.

Whereas, Salah is amongst the highest goal scorers with 16 goals and Mane has got 14 goals. Not just in the attack, defensively also, Liverpool  FC is the best team in the league conceding only 21 goals in 29 games. Let us have a look at the team that has been used the most by Klopp this season.

At the time of writing, Liverpool FC has played 29 matches and won 27 matches, losing just one game on the way. Liverpool FC is on its way to break the record for the highest number of wins in a season, which belongs to Manchester City with 32 wins. Liverpool FC needs only 6 wins out of the 9 possible games in the league to break the record.

The record for the highest points in a season is also held by Manchester City with 100 points. Even this record seems attainable by Liverpool FC, as they have to look to secure 19 points form a possible 27 points. On its way to the inevitable title this season, Liverpool FC has also broken the record for the highest home win streak in the Premier League. It is on a 22 match winning streak at the Anfield, stretching from 9th of February 2019.

The stats only speak half of the story. Liverpool FC has been utterly dominant this season in the league, but whenever it faced a challenge, it has come out of it stronger. For numerous times, this season, Liverpool FC has come back from a losing position and scored last-minute goals to clinch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Also, what makes this season even more special for Liverpool FC is the commitment that the entire team has shown, even after losing the league title by just a point, last season. The Reds last won their league title in the 1989/90 season, so the title wins this season will be very memorable and near the hearts of the Mersyside faithful.
