Emerging to a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool‘s Premier League title procession commences away to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot‘s men were briefly at risk of another delayed coronation when Tottenham Hotspur scored first last weekend, but a captivating comeback befitting English champions saw them clinch the crown with a ruthless 5-1 victory.
The Reds have now taken their place back at the top of the English game with Manchester United, sharing the Red Devils’ 20 English top-flight titles, and the 90-point barrier could still be broken between now and the end of the term.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Chelsea, who lie fifth in the Premier League table but are only ahead of Nottingham Forest on goal difference having played a game more.
