Liverpool Aims Higher: The Record They Could Take from Manchester City
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, is enjoying a brilliant season in which they've not only reclaimed the Premier League crown but are also threatening to make history with a new offensive record. After a resounding 5–1 victory over a weakened Tottenham, the Reds mathematically secured their 20th league title, drawing level with the legendary Manchester United at the top of the English football honors list.
The atmosphere at Anfield was electric—chants, flags waving, and a long standing ovation for a team that has managed to reinvent itself without losing its essence. At the heart of this resurgence is once again Mohamed Salah, who has so far recorded 28 goals and 18 assists in 34 matches, leading an attack that has already scored 80 goals in the league.
The record Liverpool is chasing
Although Slot’s team seems unlikely to reach the 106 goals set by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the 2017–2018 season, they are within striking distance of another impressive feat: surpassing 30 league matches with at least two goals scored, a record also set by that historic City side.
So far, this 2024–2025 Liverpool squad has registered 29 matches with two or more goals. With four games remaining, the Reds are very close to breaking the record—but the road ahead won’t be easy.
Next up is a visit to a resilient Chelsea, fifth in the table and boasting the fourth-best defense in the league with only 40 goals conceded. After that, Arsenal awaits—statistically the strongest defense in the competition, having allowed two or more goals in just six of their 34 matches.
However, Liverpool’s final two games may be more favorable, facing Brighton and Crystal Palace, two teams that have shown more defensive frailties.
Beyond the titles, this potential record would be the cherry on top of a memorable campaign in which Liverpool has not only won but impressed, thrilled, and entertained. If they manage to achieve this attacking milestone, there’ll be no doubt: this team belongs among the most dominant in recent football history.
