Liverpool have forged a 13-point lead in the Premier League this season having gone on an astounding run of form under Jurgen Klopp. <\/p>\n
The Reds havent lost in over a year of league football and have two games in hand over second-placed Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Despite failing to win the top flight in almost 30 years, Liverpool have a 98 per cent chance of doing so over the next few months.<\/p>\n
The experts at fivethirtyeight have crunched the numbers to rate the chances of Klopps side coming out on top having missed out by a point last season, and they are nothing sort of conclusive. <\/p>\n
The Merseyside outfit have been tipped to claim 100 points over the course of the season to match Citys record total from the 2017-18 campaign, having only failed to win once in their first 21 fixtures.<\/p>\n
In terms of the rest of the table, Leicester will hang on to third as Chelsea grab the final Champions League qualifying spot.<\/p>\n
Manchester United will finish a place above Tottenham in fifth while Mikel Artetas Arsenal sit in the bottom half of the table in 11th.<\/p>\n
Fivethirtyeight got their predictions from simulating the remaining fixtures 20,000 times, with Norwich, Bournemouth and Aston Villa facing the drop.<\/p>\n
Liverpool boss Klopp hasnt won a league title since his Bundesliga triumph with Borussia Dortmund back in 2012, and remains cautious over his chances this time around.<\/p>\n

He said of United ahead of their meeting at Anfield: As a fellow manager it is easy to see the progress they make, although others on the outside are often not so quick to recognise.<\/p>\n
They have recruited some exceptional players and the evolution of their squad makes them one of the strongest in Europe, I would say.<\/p>\n
Look at their talent from the 'keeper through to the forwards. They have world-class talent in that team and a squad full of match-winners. Big investment has resulted in a very strong group.<\/p>\n
Of course, looking to build something takes time. We know this ourselves. But they build with outstanding results and performances as a foundation.<\/p>\n
Their win this week in the FA Cup against Wolves was yet more evidence of how dangerous they are.<\/p>\n
United compete in four competitions still this says a lot about their quality.<\/p>\n
They remain with much to fight for in the league, a semi-final second leg to come in the Carabao Cup, into the fourth round of the FA Cup and the knockout stages in Europe.<\/p>\n
You cannot compete as they do in these competitions if they are not an outstanding football team.<\/p>\n
