Liverpool players know they could be Premier League champions in just three days time.
The Reds have blown away the competition this season and after Arsenal could only manage a draw against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, they now stand on the cusp of glory.
For a handful of players including Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah, it will be their second Premier League title with Liverpool.
For many others, though, it will be the first time they experience winning the English top division.
Arne Slot has used 23 players in the Premier League this season, and with Liverpool deciding how many to hand out, it is likely all of them will receive a winner’s medal.
That should mean that despite having currently played just four times in the league all year, Federico Chiesa will become a Premier League winner.
And in doing so, the Italian will join a very exclusive club.

It is not all over just yet, of course, but with just one point needed from their final five matches, Liverpool are going to win the Premier League.
For Chiesa, that is exactly what he would have wanted when arriving from Juventus last summer.

He would have preferred to have played far, far more than he has, but the 27-year-old will forever be a Premier League winner.
And, amazingly, Chiesa will become just the third Italian player to have won the English title.

Despite producing countless brilliant players in the past and present, only two have previously come to England and declared themselves champions.
Carlo Cudicini did it twice with Chelsea in 2004/05 and 2005/06 – although the goalkeeper played only nine times across the two seasons – while Mario Balotelli won the 2011/12 title with Manchester City.
As well as Chiesa, there are a further two members of the Liverpool squad who will make history by winning the Premier League this season.
While Chiesa will not be the first from his nation to become an English champion, both Kostas Tsimikas and Dominik Szoboszlai will.
No Greek or Hungarian player has ever been officially recognised as a Premier League winner in the competition’s 32-year history.
That will change in year 33, when Tsimikas and Szoboszlai both claim gold with Liverpool.
Unlike Chiesa, there will be no debate over whether they receive a medal either.
Tsimikas has played 16 times this term, including seven starts, while Szoboszlai has been a key player, racking up 31 appearances.
