Liverpool have a 98 percent chance of winning the Premier League title this season, according to FiveThirtyEight.
The Reds made it 61 points from a possible 63 on Saturday, winning 1-0 away to Tottenham.
No other side in the history of Europe’s top five leagues has accumulated more at this stage in history.
Liverpool are 14 points clear of Manchester City in the title race with a game in hand and these latest figures suggest it would take something disastrous for the Reds not to clinch glory from here.

I’m certainly not calling the Reds champions yet, following years of heartache in the league.
They should undoubtedly ease their way to the title, in my opinion, but it takes a brave man to completely rule out City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have shown in the past that they can go on staggering winning runs, prevailing in their last 14 matches last season, keeping Liverpool at bay.
I do believe Jurgen Klopp’s men will finally end that long wait to be crowned champions, however, in what will be one of the greatest achievement in the club’s history.
I think it will eclipse the Champions League triumphs in Istanbul and Madrid from this century, because of the calibre of the City side they are up against.
Also, winning a league title requires more focus and consistency, with it taking place over a 38-game period.
