On Sunday, April 27, Liverpool formally confirmed their Premier League title victory with a 5-1 thumping of Tottenham Hotspur, and the festivities began. The team dominated the top flight all season and accumulated a significant lead over Arsenal in second place, so winning their 20th league title was viewed as a formality.
They simply needed to avoid losing to Tottenham, but instead they dominated Ange Postecoglou’s team 5-1 and won the league in spectacular fashion. Both the team and the fans were ecstatic about it. This will be the first time the club celebrates winning the trophy with a parade, as their only previous Premier League title victory was subject to severe COVID-19 restrictions. However, they will have to wait, as the Reds’ real lifting of the coveted title has finally been confirmed.
When Liverpool Will Lift Premier League Title
The Reds will have to wait until the final day of the season
Liverpool has been so dominant this season that they have won the Premier League title with four games remaining, but they will not be able to raise the trophy until the campaign’s final match against Crystal Palace. The game will be played at Anfield on Sunday, May 25. There will be celebrations after the game. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Liverpool’s last Premier League victory occurred in July 2020, behind closed doors. This time, supporters will be thrilled to celebrate with the team.
In this case, they still have four Premier League games left, so it will solidify what has been an amazing debut season for Slot and his coaching staff. With their victory on April 14 of the 2000–01 season, Manchester United set the record for the earliest date to win the Premier League, so Slot and company were only 13 days away from creating history.
The Teams That Have to Give Liverpool a Guard of Honour
Arsenal have to eat humble pie by the time the two sides next meet
Four teams are now scheduled to present Liverpool with a guard of honor in order to congratulate them on their victory after they were named champions on April 27. Unfortunately, one of the clubs in question is Arsenal, who are now on track to finish second for the third consecutive season. The two teams will play each other at Anfield on May 10.
This is not the first time Arsenal has had to perform for the Reds; Mikel Arteta was present when his team honored Klopp’s 2020 title winners, which included former star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who stumbled onto the field as his former teammates cheered him on.
Chelsea is in line before the match against Arsenal, as are the other clubs that must complete this task. Slot’s team then plays Crystal Palace and Brighton to wrap out their domestic campaign. The trophy is anticipated to be paraded around the city on the following Bank Holiday Monday, a day later, however this has not yet been confirmed. Liverpool City Council is already getting ready for the anticipated one million spectators on May 26.
