Liverpool are not only on the brink of ending their 30-year wait for a 19th league title, but they’re on course to do it in the most emphatic way possible.

The Reds did equal one record in their 3-2 win over West Ham on Monday as they made it 18 wins in a row to draw level with Man City’s previous best from 2017.

The runaway leaders are currently on 79 points after 26 wins and a draw from 27 games, which is seven more than Manchester City’s all-conquering ‘Centurions’ had earned at this stage of the 2017/2018 campaign. If Liverpool win all their remaining games they’ll finish on 112!

Liverpool are also a mammoth 22 points clear of the defending champions, who can now reach a maximum of 90 from their 11 remaining games, so the Reds just need another 12 to seal the title.

It’s just 11/4 now with Sky Bet that they can go through the entire season unbeaten.

Should the Reds smash – or emulate – a whole host of other records in their sights then it’ll be a fascinating debate as to where Jurgen Klopp’s men rank among the Premier League’s most dominant ever sides, including Manchester United’s treble winners, Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’, the aforementioned ‘Centurions’ – as well as City’s so-called ‘Fourmidables’ of last season – or even Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea sides from 2004-2006.

The fact this is all coinciding with their arch-rivals’ worst season for 30 years – when Liverpool last won the league – is just footballing poetry, and if the trends of the two clubs continue in this vein for the foreseeable future then it may not be too long before Liverpool surpass United’s all-time leading haul of 20 titles.
