Premier League 18-19: 5 reasons why Liverpool’s season will be a success irrespective of what happens in May

#2. On track to get highest ever league points total

Liverpool FC v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

Currently Liverpool have 62 points from 25 games. Their highest ever league tally of 90 points came in 1987-88, while their highest ever Premier League tally of 86 points came in 2008-09.

At the current rate Liverpool are likely to finish with 94 points, which if achieved will be the 3rd highest points tally ever achieved in the 26 premier league seasons before this one - no mean feat, especially for a club whose points tally in the last 3 season, has been: 75, 76 & 60. Among Liverpool or City, whoever ends up as the runner-up has nothing to be ashamed about, rather they can legitimately count themselves as extremely unlucky.

Given Manchester City's historic campaign last season, when they became the first to breach the 100-point mark, teams will have to win more points to contend for titles, and this is a step in the right direction for Liverpool.
