Sun Apr 20 17:58:00 UTC 2025: ## Liverpool One Win Away From Premier League Title After Leicester Relegation

**Leicester, England** – Liverpool edged closer to their first Premier League title since 1990, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory against a relegated Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold’s 76th-minute goal proved decisive, condemning Leicester to a return to the Championship after just one season back in the top flight.

Leicester, needing a win to temporarily avoid relegation, put up a strong fight, but Alexander-Arnold’s strike, following a goalmouth scramble, sealed their fate. The Foxes haven’t scored a home goal since December, suffering nine consecutive defeats at the King Power Stadium. Liverpool’s win leaves them needing just one more victory to clinch the title. They could be crowned champions as early as Wednesday if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace; otherwise, they’ll have the opportunity to secure the title against Tottenham at Anfield next Sunday.

Despite several near misses, including shots hitting the post by Mohamed Salah and Wilfred Ndidi, and a disallowed Leicester goal due to a foul, the game remained tense until Alexander-Arnold’s late heroics. The goal was potentially his last for Liverpool, as he is reportedly set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. Alexander-Arnold, however, remained focused on the team’s achievement, expressing his delight at the victory and the team’s proximity to the title.

Leicester’s relegation marks a dramatic fall from grace for the club that won the Premier League just nine years ago. Defender Conor Coady expressed the team’s devastation, acknowledging their poor season while praising their performance against a strong Liverpool side. They join Southampton in returning to the Championship, with Ipswich Town also expected to follow suit, making it the second consecutive season where all three promoted teams have been relegated.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal enjoyed a comfortable 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town, while Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Wolves, and Chelsea secured a late 2-1 win against Fulham.
