Will Liverpool receive a guard of honour from Chelsea and is it compulsory?
With four Premier League games to go, Arne Slot’s men now have an unassailable lead at the top of the table and will play their first game as champions against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge today.
It is Liverpool’s second league title in five years – and 20th league title overall, drawing them level with Manchester United – but this time they will celebrate properly with their fans after being unable to do so in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.
The Reds will lift the trophy on the final day of the season before a likely parade through the city on Monday 26 May.
Yet will Liverpool receive a guard of honour at their remaining four Premier League games?
