We may still be two months away from the end of this year’s English Premier League, but it seems like a champion is set to be crowned as Liverpool sits 15 points ahead of Arsenal in the table.

Arsenal already needed a miracle to catch Liverpool atop the Premier League table, and a draw at Man United on Sunday did little to improve their odds.

Liverpool's lead in the Premier League has grown to 16 points. Mohamed Salah's lead in the Golden Boot contest is up to seven goals. Both races are turning into a procession after Salah converted two second-half penalties for his 26th and 27th goals of the campaign to clinch a 3-1 win for Liverpool at home to last-placed Southampton on Saturday.
