Liverpool can wrap the Premier League title up this weekend but they will have to wait to lift the trophy.

The Reds need just one point from the Anfield clash with Tottenham (26 April) to confirm their status as champions.

It will be a magnificent achievement in Arne Slot‘s first season of English football but he will not get his hands on the trophy straight away.

Liverpool to wait for Premier League title

Liverpool may receive some guards of honours after they secure the title but they will not be given the trophy until their final home match of the season.

That is a result of Premier League traditions and they are set to be handed the trophy after the Crystal Palace clash on 25 May.

In fact, according to the Daily Mirror (26 April), Manchester City will hold one of the trophies as reigning champions are allowed to keep it until three weeks before their final match of the campaign.

Slot set for major party in Liverpool

It will be an almighty party in Liverpool after they wrap up the title, as they were not able to celebrate it properly last time when they won it under Jurgen Klopp, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the world to an end as we knew it.

Surely given the fact that they need just one point, it is a matter of when rather than if, and once it is confirmed, it will be a major relief for Reds supporters.

There has been criticism that it has been an easy season for the Reds but Slot and supporters will agree that they have simply been the best team this season and they deserve credit for losing just two league games all season.

The party will go on for a long time and then the focus will be on regaining their crown next campaign with Fenway Sports Group set to back Slot in the transfer market, with a slight rebuild of the squad needed.

With the right additions, the squad could be a very formidable one and challenge for all the major honours in the near future.
