Liverpool’s draw with Nottingham Forest raises questions about their title race against Arsenal and Chelsea
The Reds haven’t had the best start to 2025, with only one win so far, which was against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup. They really need to pick up the pace in the coming weeks, especially with some tough fixtures ahead.
Liverpool still has a game in hand, which could be crucial. Their next match is against Brentford, who just managed to snag a point against Manchester City. Plus, they have a tricky away game at Bournemouth coming up, so it’s not going to be easy for them.
On the other hand, Arsenal has a chance to close the gap to Liverpool if they can beat Tottenham. But with their recent inconsistent form, Liverpool fans might be hoping for a Spurs win. Arsenal’s upcoming matches include Aston Villa and a tough trip to Wolves, followed by a clash with Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest is also in the mix, having taken four points off Liverpool this season. They’re just six points behind the Reds and have a game against Southampton next. However, their schedule gets tougher with away games against Bournemouth, Fulham, and Newcastle, which will really test their title ambitions.
As for Chelsea, their title hopes seem to be fading fast. They’ve only managed three points from their last five games and are now ten points behind Liverpool. With tough matches against Manchester City, Brighton, and Aston Villa coming up, they might struggle to stay in the top four if they don’t turn things around soon. Liverpool has a chance to extend their lead, but they need to step up their game to stay in the title race.
