Liverpool's wait had already gone on for 30 years. Then, it was pushed by a few more months, due to a pandemic. So what's an extra set of games?
That's the situation in which Jurgen Klopp and his players find themselves, with a seemingly inevitable title celebration still on ice but well within reach. The combination of Manchester City's two victories and Liverpool's scoreless draw vs. Everton in their first games since the restart have pushed the potential clinching date even more, but it's still quite imminent.
As it stands, Liverpool sits a whopping 20 points clear of second-place City with eight games remaining apiece.
