Arsenal beat Chelsea at Emirates Stadium in their game in hand over Liverpool before the international break.
That victory reduced Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table from 15 points to 12.
But, in terms of when Slot’s side can win the title, it has made little difference.
The earliest date Liverpool could win their 20th league title is 13 April, when they play West Ham at Anfield.
For that scenario to play out, Arsenal need to lose their next two matches against Fulham and Everton, with Liverpool beating Everton and Fulham in that time.
That would leave Arsenal 18 points behind Liverpool with 21 points left to play for.
A Brentford victory against Arsenal on 12 April would leave the Gunners 18 points behind with 18 points left to play for, leaving Liverpool needing a single point against the Hammers on 13 April to claim the title.
Statisticians Opta give Arsenal just a 0.8% chance of winning the title, with Liverpool given a 99.2% chance based on their position and remaining fixtures.
