Thousands of Liverpool supporters have arrived at Anfield ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League showdown against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds need just a point against Ange Postecoglou’s side to be crowned league champions.

Five years ago Jurgen Klopp’s team lifted the trophy in an empty stadium due to Covid restrictions, having won a first title in 30 years by 18 points.



As a result, Anfield is gearing up for a party this afternoon.

And in a video released by the club, the sheer number of supporters in attendance outside the ground can be clearly seen.

ECHO reporters outside Anfield have described the scenes as a vibrant "party atmosphere," and fans have remarked that they have never seen Anfield like this before.

Speaking in the build-up to the game, Reds captain Virgil van Dijk called on Reds supporters to create a sea of red and a wall of noise.

Writing in the matchday programme, he said: “One more push.

Because while we are still going to be concentrating on the task in front of us, which is a tough game against Tottenham Hotspur, we also know what the day means for everyone associated with the club.

“And, well, it means everything.

“To win the Premier League is special, however and wherever you do it.

And as ever, I am expecting a very tough game.

“If I’ve learnt anything during my time in England, it’s that you should never take anything for granted when it comes to Premier League football.

“You have to earn every yard, every point, every victory.

We’ve had to give everything, week after week, game after game.

“Nothing has been given to us, and I don’t expect that to change on Sunday.

“It is clear that Tottenham are not where they want or expect to be in terms of their own league position, but that doesn’t matter on the day.
