Liverpool are potentially just one win away from the Premier League title but it depends on what Arsenal do against struggling Ipswich this weekend and Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed the stance inside the Reds’ dressing room
Dominik Szoboszlai insists Liverpool will be ignoring Arsenal this weekend despite being on the verge of winning the Premier League title. The Reds are a maximum of just two wins from being confirmed as champions.
It will see them claim the Premier League for the second time in their history, while it would round off an outstanding first season under Arne Slot. The title could even be secured this weekend should Arsenal lose to struggling Ipswich and Liverpool beat Leicester later in the day – a result that would confirm the Midland club’s relegation back to the Championship.
Despite being so close, Szoboszlai claims that Liverpool will not be paying attention to goings on at Portman Road. Speaking ahead of this weekend’s trip to Leicester, the Hungarian said: “I think it’s going to be a huge moment for everyone but we have two games [wins] to go.
“I think it’s very important to be just calm, focus on Leicester [and] don’t even think about what Arsenal does. You have to focus on yourself because it is in your own hand and you have to be happy that it is only in your hand [and] you don’t have to focus on other teams to lose or draw. We have to be focused every game for 90 minutes.”
Speaking about Liverpool’s upcoming title, Szoboszlai has suggested that it is just reward for the Reds after a season that has brought with it a number of challenges. He added: “It’s good because we have worked so hard for the whole season to get to this point.

“And everybody was involved somehow – from the players, from the staff, from the fans, from the city, from everybody. “(It’s been) Unbelievable.
“Ups and downs: being first in the Champions League group stage and then [going] out against Paris [Saint-Germain], went to the Carabao Cup final [and] lost against Newcastle. Two games to go to win the Premier League. Ups and downs, but it was really good.”
Should the title not be sealed this weekend against Leicester, the Merseysiders will then have another golden opportunity in a weeks’ time – ironically against Arsenal’s fierce rivals Tottenham at Anfield.

Szoboszlai has certainly done his fair share of work to get Liverpool to where they are this season. The former RB Leipzig midfielder has scored seven goals and notched six assists in all competitions throughout the campaign – already an improvement on his debut campaign at Anfield.
