How many times Liverpool have won the Premier League after being top on Christmas Day

Today at 07:00 AM

Liverpool will spend Christmas Day top of the Premier League after Sunday’s entertaining 6-3 win against Tottenham.

With just one loss all season, Arne Slot’s side have been easily the best team in England this campaign and arguably all of Europe, with Liverpool also sitting top of the revamped UEFA Champions League standings.

Heading into 2025, the Merseyside giants find themselves in an incredible position to challenge for all four pieces of silverware on offer, with Peter Schmeichel claiming that Liverpool could win the quadruple if they maintain their current form.

Yet heading into Christmas top of the Premier League, how many times have Liverpool actually managed to go all the way and win the title?

Liverpool have only won the Premier League once after being top at Christmas

This season will be the seventh time Liverpool will go into Christmas at the top of the Premier League, yet when it comes to seeing out the mission of winning the title, the Reds’ success rate makes for grim reading for supporters.

Liverpool’s only Premier League title win came during the 2019/20 season, where Jurgen Klopp led the standings on December 25th with the Reds going on to claim the biggest prize in English football in emphatic fashion.

Indeed, with Arsenal being top at Christmas for the last two seasons and failing to go on to win the Premier League, the pressure will be on for Liverpool to break the curse heading into 2025, with Chelsea only four points off Slot’s side.

However, with the January transfer window just around the corner, Liverpool already have a way of improving the squad going into the New Year, and current rumours suggest that the Reds will be spending in the market as Slot looks to improve his squad in 2025.

What can Liverpool do to break their Christmas curse?

As mentioned, the January market could be Liverpool’s best and most obvious chance of improving their odds to win the Premier League title, with Slot firmly aware that signings need to be made if the Reds are to go all the way.

Liverpool are believed to be looking at four positions going into 2024, with centre-back and central midfield the two areas of the squad that need the most immediate work given the real lack of quality depth Slot has to call upon.

Yet if Liverpool can bring in one or even two new signings in January, then the Merseyside giants could have an outstanding chance of winning the Premier League title, a feat that could make Slot a club legend in his first year in charge.
