However, Liverpool will mathematically guarantee a record-equalling 20th top-flight championship by avoiding defeat at home to Tottenham this weekend.
The omens for Liverpool are good ahead of the game as Spurs’ last win at Anfield across any competition was all the way back in 2011 when Harry Redknapp’s side defeated Kenny Dalglish’s Reds 2-0 thanks to goals from Rafael van der Vaart and Luka Modric.
Should the Merseyside outfit get the result required to be crowned champions of England on Sunday, attentions will immediately turn to the trophy presentation.
Will Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy this weekend?
Even if Liverpool avoid defeat against Tottenham to win the Premier League with four games to spare, captain Virgil van Dijk will not get his hands on the trophy immediately after the game.
This is because it’s a tradition that the Premier League trophy presentation is not held until the final weekend of the season.
The Reds are at home to Crystal Palace on the final day, May 25, so that is when van Dijk, Slot and the rest of the squad will get their hands on the biggest prize in English football.
