It’s the final day of the Premier League season and the stage is set at Anfield.
Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace in what promises to be a celebratory afternoon.
The fans will finally see their team lift the Premier League trophy — a moment that’s been long overdue.
Arne Slot’s men wrapped up the title at the end of last month.
But unlike 2020 when the pandemic kept fans away, this time, the celebrations will happen with the supporters in the stands.
That in itself makes the day special.
Of course, the game matters less than the occasion.
Liverpool have gone three games without a win since clinching the title, including a disappointing loss to Brighton last Monday.
Palace will arrive full of confidence, though.
They beat Manchester City at Wembley last weekend to win the FA Cup.
Then they put four past Wolves midweek.
But today isn’t about Palace.
It’s about Liverpool signing off the season in front of their fans, at Anfield, with the trophy in hand.
Now to the team news.
Slot has named a strong XI for this final Premier League game of the season.
It’s a side that shows respect for the occasion and the fans.
The boss is not overly focused on the result today, and that’s understandable.
The Reds are playing for pride, and for the joy of lifting the trophy.
Palace may be in form, but Liverpool are still the champions.
Slot knows that.
Palace have their own high, of course.
It’s all about the trophy and the fans today.
Here is the confirmed Liverpool XI:
Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Bradley, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
Kick-off is at 16:00 BST.
