'You can’t pray to be Jay Jay Okocha over Carragher' - Expert tells Nigerians
Nigerian journalist believes Super Eagles legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha shouldn’t trash-talk Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher due to the latter’s superior football career.
However, their title celebrations will have to wait until at least April due to their involvement in the EFL Cup final on March 16 and the subsequent international break, which limits their Premier League action in March to just one match against Southampton.
The earliest Liverpool can mathematically secure the title is on the weekend of April 5/6, when they visit Super Eagles duo of Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey’s Fulham at Craven Cottage.

To achieve this, they must win their next three matches, culminating in a victory at Craven Cottage, while Arsenal would need to lose their next four games.
Additionally, other contenders like Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Chelsea would have to drop points to facilitate Liverpool's early title win.

If Liverpool maintain their current 13-point advantage, they are likely to be crowned champions on the weekend of April 26/27, when they host Tottenham Hotspur.
This scenario assumes that Arsenal and other teams do not significantly close the gap in the intervening weeks1.

With a 98.83% probability of winning the title according to Opta, Liverpool's focus remains on maintaining their form while also competing in the Champions League.
Manager Arne Slot, however, has emphasised the importance of focusing on each match rather than looking ahead to potential celebrations.
