Liverpool make extraordinary record-breaking exploits look ordinary

LIVERPOOL, England — There is something remarkable about the Liverpool team that is now just four victories away from claiming the Premier League title: Even the extraordinary is beginning to seem routine for Jurgen Klopp and his players.

But losing would have denied Liverpool the chance to emulate Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal Invincibles by going through a season without suffering a league defeat.

A defeat, or a draw, would also have stopped Liverpool equalling Manchester City’s record of 18 successive Premier League wins.

After their defeat of West Ham, Liverpool now have 13 one-goal wins in the Premier League this season.

It is now just a case of when Liverpool win the league, not if.
