Liverpool currently sit on 43 points. That means that they're going to escape relegation - but more pertinently, their 1.6 points-per-game average will only be enough to secure 60 points, at the end of this long and winding season. 

That's 39 points worse off than last season. If Liverpool are to continue on the current trajectory, they will become the worst Premier League champions of all time. Which is saying a lot, considering some title-winners have been in relegation scraps, just months after their bus parades.
