Chelsea welcome the new Premier League champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
The Blues will have the job of applauding Arne Slot’s side onto the pitch in a much-dreaded Guard of Honour ahead of kick-off.
Liverpool sealed their crown at Anfield last weekend to complete what has been a sublime first season in English football for their manager.
While the Reds can now relax a bit, there is plenty of work ahead for Enzo Maresca’s side with the battle for Champions League qualification intensifying.
His side start the day in fifth place, level on points with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. Three points today would go some way in ensuring they return to Europe’s premier competition next season.
