Liverpool still have two more Premier League matches left to play as they move closer towards the long-awaited trophy lift.
The Reds won the title with four games to go and have been splitting their time between playing and partying ever since.
The final match of the Premier League season is the one Liverpool fans have circled in red ever since they were confirmed as champions in April.
Crystal Palace are the opponents at Anfield ahead of Virgil van Dijk getting his hands on the Premier League trophy.
And what was already set to be a special day became even more exciting on Saturday, when Palace themselves lifted the FA Cup by surprisingly beating Manchester City at Wembley.
With both teams enjoying a party end to the season, Liverpool fans have urged their club to give a special welcome to Palace next Sunday.

Liverpool are set to receive a final guard of honour of the season from Palace when they welcome the Premier League champions onto the pitch at Anfield on May 25th.
However, after watching the south Londoners win the cup, Reds supporters took to X to urge their club to reciprocate before next Sunday’s game.

It is a funny coincidence that Liverpool and Crystal Palace will play out a dress rehearsal of August’s Community Shield on the final day of the season.
Indeed, with both clubs having nothing left to play for, it should be a party atmosphere.
Palace actually have a decent record at Anfield and memorably beat Liverpool to end their title hopes on the ground last season.
This time, with both teams already metaphorically – and perhaps even literally – on the beach, anything could happen.
As has been established over recent weeks, the guard of honour is completely optional in football and, having received a few of their own already, we would not be surprised to see Liverpool line up and applaud Palace’s first ever major trophy win.
