Liverpool, who wrapped up the Premier League title well ahead of the final game of the season, will lift the coveted trophy infront of an ecstatic Anfield at the conclusion of their game against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The last time Liverpool won the title, the stands were empty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Reds skipper Virgil Van Dijk expressed his delight in being able to lift the trophy with fans in attendance this time around.

“This is the day we have all been waiting for, and one that each and every one of us has to savour, from first minute until last,” the Dutchman said.
“I know I have been looking forward to this ever since we were confirmed as Premier League champions last month, and I’m sure you guys have been exactly the same,” the towering defender added.
“There have been a few celebrations over the last few weeks, as you know, but the idea of being at Anfield and lifting that trophy in front of all our supporters? That’s something different. It’s something special,” the 33-year-old said.
Van Dijk called on the Reds faithful to cherish every second of their crowning moment after having been denied the same five years ago.
“Having been denied this in 2020, we all have a duty to make the most of this opportunity, and to make it the most happy and joyful experience possible,” the centre-half penned in the pre-game programme.
“We have to enjoy these moments because these are the things we work for every single day,” Van Dijk added.
