However, when all was said and done in North London, the Merseyside outfit were only able to come away with a point.
There are now 17 games left of the Premier League campaign, and Liverpool need to overturn a 14-point gap to catch Mikel Arteta’s men.
Arne Slot concedes Premier League title
Is it still possible? On paper, yes, but Arne Slot has now admitted that their involvement in the title race is done.
Instead, speaking to Sky Sports, he says Liverpool will focus on the Champions League for the remainder of the campaign.

He said: “It’s never nice to say that the title race is gone, because you never know what can happen in football,” Slot said in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports. “But the last thing we should talk about at this moment is the title race.
“We know that our league position makes it very hard to compete with Arsenal for the league title.
“Our first focus now is on a top-four, top-five finish to qualify for the Champions League. And all the other things we can still play for, for the Champions League, for the FA Cup.”

Liverpool’s Champions League chances predicted
Slot is correct in his assessment that there is not much for Liverpool to play for in the Premier League moving forward.
Success in Europe would be an ideal way to salvage something from what has been a difficult campaign so far.
But the Reds have not exactly been at their best in the Champions League in 2025/26.
Ahead of their return to European action against Marseille later this month, Liverpool sit ninth in the table, one place away from the automatic qualification spots.
At present, Opta give Slot’s men a 66.49% chance of making it into the last-16 of the competition.
However, Liverpool are the sixth-most likely team to lift the trophy this summer, with a 6.29% chance of doing so. Arsenal (26.18%) are the favourites.
