Liverpool Is Winning More Than Any Premier League Team Ever Has

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/liverpool-is-winning-more-than-any-premier-league-team-ever-has/

"Before the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to the season in March, Liverpool had been enjoying the most successful season by points per game in the history of Europe’s top five leagues. Through Matchweek 29, Liverpool had amassed an astounding 82 points — more points than six of the Premier League’s previous 27 champions. Liverpool has won 2.83 points per game, far surpassing those exceptional City teams of the very recent past. If it keeps up its current pace, Liverpool will finish with 107 points, smashing Manchester City’s single-season points record of 100.
...

Of course, Klopp might decide to rest all his first-team players and “play the kids” once the title is wrapped up. The team will have nothing left to play for, and it might not want to risk injuries to key players that could limit what it’s able to do next season, which will start quickly1 after this one ends. In that case, Liverpool might not set any records at all. But it will still have its league title — which is what its fans really want.

The final months of the Premier League will offer no shortage of intrigue. There is a tense and tight relegation battle at the bottom of the table and an equally tense and tight battle for European qualification near the top. The very top, however, is already settled. It has been for some time."

Saw them at Anfield against Wolves.

So glad I went and saw them this season.

How much was the ticket? What was it like compared with seeing another sporting event, e.g. AFL?
