The result at Stamford Bridge means Liverpool have an unassailable 23-point lead over City with seven games left. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing a three-month suspension of the season and delaying Liverpool's coronation, they have won the title with a record seven games to spare. They eclipsed the record jointly held by Manchester United (2000-01) and Manchester City (2017-18), who sealed their respective titles with five games left. Had it not been for the unprecedented stoppage Liverpool were on course to smash the record for the earliest league title. With 28 wins and just one defeat in 31 games, Liverpool have set a record-breaking pace and were 25 points clear in February -- the biggest lead in Premier League history.
