The curtain comes down on Liverpool’s 2024/25 season on Sunday as they finally lift the Premier League trophy.
It has been a sensational campaign for the Reds, with an unexpected 20th league title being delivered against the odds.
Fans are desperate to see Virgil van Dijk get his hands on the trophy, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that there is a game to play before all of that.
Having failed to win any of their three matches since being confirmed as champions, Liverpool should want to put on one last show for supporters at Anfield.
And with some farewells potentially in the mix as well, here’s the XI we think Arne Slot will send out against Crystal Palace.

Although Sunday is likely to be Caoimhin Kelleher’s final game as a Liverpool player, he is highly unlikely to play any part.
Instead, Alisson Becker will surely go again.
The biggest question of the day perhaps comes at right-back, where Jurgen Klopp has fanned the flames of the ongoing Trent Alexander-Arnold situation.
With good vibes the order of the day here, though, we expect Slot to have learnt from his mistake against Arsenal and leave Alexander-Arnold on the bench.
Conor Bradley will get his final audition before Jeremie Frimpong arrives instead.
At centre-back, Virgil van Dijk will come back in for Jarell Quansah, while Ibrahima Konate is set to retain his place.

Slot has chopped and changed at left-back recently, but with Kostas Tsimikas playing at Brighton, Andy Robertson is likely to return for this one.
There is a spot open in midfield after Slot confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister will not be involved in the final day match.
Harvey Elliott came in and did relatively well at Brighton and is another who could be playing his last game for the club.

However, we think Slot will instead return Dominik Szoboszlai to his more advanced role, while keeping faith in the newly-crowned Premier League young player of the year Ryan Gravenberch.
In place of Elliott, we think Curtis Jones will be the player who comes in to sit alongside Gravenberch.
Sunday is the final day in which Mohamed Salah can break the Premier League assists record which he looked on-course to smash at one stage.
Salah needs a hat-trick of assists to claim the record for himself, which seems like a long-shot against a well-drilled Palace team.
Nevertheless, he’ll give it his best shot.
Starting alongside Salah in the front line could be Luis Diaz, who might well be playing in Liverpool red for the final time.
Diaz has been strongly linked with an exit this summer, with the imminent arrival of Florian Wirtz throwing his future into even bigger doubt.
