Newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool will receive their first guard of honour on Sunday as they visit Chelsea.

Arne Slot’s side confirmed their title with a 5-1 home win over Tottenham last time out, but will be made to wait until the last day of the season to lift the trophy.

They will be treated to a guard of honour ahead of each of their remaining four matches, though, which will ease fan’s impatience to see the silverware in person.

While Liverpool have little to play for beyond bragging rights, the match means a great deal to Chelsea’s Champions League qualification hopes.

They come into the match sat fifth, tied on points with Nottingham Forest, who have a game in hand.

Three points will be nothing short of crucial if they are to move back into UEFA’s premier competition next season, which had been considered the bare minimum for Enzo Maresca this season.

Chelsea vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday, April 12, 2025.

The match will take place at xxxx.

Chelsea vs Liverpool team news

Chelsea managed to escape their trip to Sweden with no new injuries, but two players suffered injuries in the lead-up to the tie.

It is as yet unclear whether they will return for Sunday’s tie.

Malo Gusto is a doubt, set for a late fitness test after picking up a thigh issue against Everton.

Chelsea will remain without Wesley Fofana, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, and Mykhailo Mudryk, who are dealing with long-term injuries or suspensions.

In contrast, Liverpool have a relatively clear injury list.

Conor Bradley will likely return for Liverpool after he missed the Tottenham tie with a knock, while Joe Gomez remains out with a long-term hamstring injury.

Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction

As the Blues chase the Champions League, they will hope against hope that Liverpool are already on the beach, having secured the title with weeks to spare, though they will require a first home win over the Reds since March 2020.

And Slot’s men really have little to play for.

Should Slot opt to hand runs out to his fringe and academy players, Chelsea could be in with a chance to spoil the party.
