Liverpool won their second Premier League title last weekend after picking up the point they needed with their win against Tottenham.

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?

After succeeding Jurgen Klopp one of the first things the Dutchman highlighted to the squad were a few minor areas he felt would make the difference between them finishing third, nine points off the pace, as they did in 2023-24, and winning a record-equalling 20th championship.

That insight has been proved correct and Konate praised Slot for the influence he has had.

“I think he brings something new, like the style of playing,” he said.

“Just before we started the season he showed us why we didn’t win the league the year before, some details, and he said if we change that and improve on that we have a big chance to win the league.”

A title triumph in his first season? It’s been an outstanding start for Arne Slot, taking a team that Jurgen Klopp built and turning them into champions. Richard Jolly explains how he managed it without having to pull on the purse strings:

Seven days on, a few foggy Scouse heads are surely still yet to clear after Liverpool secured a second Premier League triumph. Kieran Jackson was at Anfield to see the title-winning moment and soak up the celebrations:

Liverpool are back in action for the first time since securing the Premier League title as Arne Slot’s side celebrate their place as champions with a visit to Chelsea.

While there is little for the visitors to gain, this is a crucial fixture for the hosts as they look to secure a Champions League qualification place with the battle for a top-five finish hotting up.

Kick off at Stamford Bridge is at 4.30pm BST.
