Liverpool are Premier League CHAMPIONS! Re-live the action, reaction, photos and videos as the beer-soaked party moved to the dressing room and the streets

Alright, time for us all to toddle off. Thanks for joining us on this live blog. It has been a pleasure. Do stay with us for our coverage across the website, social media, and tomorrow's print edition.

What did I tell you? The party is still in full swing. I expect a few to call in sick on Merseyside tomorrow.

• Slot's one-word mantra
• The Premier League jobs he snubbed
• And so much more

Read below with Mail+.

Don't assume the celebrations are stopping yet. That's not how football works.

Yes, these pictures are from earlier when the light was begining to fade, but the night is only young for many Reds fans.

Our Liverpool reporter Lewis Steele always finds the quirkiest angle.

If you're just joining us, I really recommend going back and recapping the day - we've got everything here, eight hours' worth of build-up, action, and reaction.

This was perhaps the most moving moment of the day.

So, bit of a sticky situation, this, potentially.

We all know Salah wouldn't want alcohol pouring on him.

The question is: what did Nunez actually pour on him?

Now here's a man deserving of a new contract. Konate has been a fortress of a man this season alongside Virgil van Dijk, not at all playing in his shadow but shining a light of his own.

In case you missed it earlier, Arne Slot returned the favour to Jurgen Klopp by chanting his name, as the German boss had done to welcome him in last season.

Right, it seems about time to share this.

Lewis Steele has taken on the task of rating every single Liverpool player this season - admittedly anicer task than doing any other club - ranging from 5 to 9.5...

Arne Slot has revealed whether Liverpool will be training tomorrow.

'I don't think we are!' he said in his press conference.

Can't blame him!

It's stats in this vein which often illustrate the story of the season best.

Liverpool have spent 206 days at the summit of the Premier league this season. No doubting their credentials for it.

Oh, to be a fly on the non-existent wall.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was pictured in conversation with Liverpool owner John W. Henry amid their celebrations.

'Fancy signing for the Boston Red Sox?'

Liverpool have four fixtures remaining and can reach up to 94 points. They've still got Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.

Some of you have asked in the comments section if they will all have to give Liverpool a guard of honour and the answer is no, they don't have to.

That said, it is tradition, and it would look incredibly petty if they don't, the sort of thing Real Madrid would do. So yes, we'd expect all of them to.

Liverpool recently handed Virgil van Dijk a new £400,000 per week contract. Extortionate money, yes, but well-spent in the context of football.

He's become the first non-British Liverpool captain to skipper them to a league title. Respect.

He hasn't had much of a mention today, so just a bit of love for Alisson.

He's been a transformational signing since joining in 2018, and by all accounts is a good-natured figure at the club.

There are rumours that he organised the celebration with Liverpool's ball boys from the academy at full time. All the squad were seen dancing around with the youngsters at the end.

After his health scare, it was great to see Alan Hansen at Anfield today.

He was hospitalised in June as he was seriously ill.

Hansen, who won three European Cups, eight league titles, two FA Cups and three League Cups in 620 appearances for Liverpool, accepted his MBE from Prince William in March.

Just a year ago, Slaah and Klopp had a touchline spat after he was dropped for a pivotal visit to West Ham, which Liverpool drew 2-2.

At many points since then, it's looked as if Salah might be leaving the Reds. he was, as he told Mail Sport earlier this campaign, 'more out than in'.

But now he's won his second Premier League crown, been boosted with a new contract to around £400,000 per week, and is set to stay for two more seasons.

Will he be crowned as the best player in the world in the Ballon d'Or awards?

Errol Smith, a presenter with Redmen TV, has highlighted how Arne Slot's ability to get the most out of his players in the second half has been critical in getting results.

'He's meticulous. He reads the first half like a book and in the second half make the calm changes he needs to. At half-time, the lads absorb it (his message),' Smith told Liverpool's live stream on X.

'People were joking we were Second Half FC but it was getting us results.'

Former Liverpool Echo Sports Editor John Thompson has just recounted how his son, 34, is living this sort of moment for the first time (barring the odd Covid-19 title in 2020).

He's just one of a generation of fans for whom the cork is off the bottle, and all that tension, all that anticipation, has been allowed to explode.

Fans have found their way onto the rooftops.

This is the third time that Spurs have had the title won against them, as Manchester United did so on the last day in 1998-99, and Arsenal did in 2003-04.

But this is by far the most emphatic way they've given out a title.

Manchester United beat them 2-1 in 1999, while Arsenal drew 2-2 in 2004.

Not quite 5-1, is it?

Anfield has been purged of its supporters by now, though many are still chanting outside and the smoke from the flares is still rising.

But here's one of the more intimate moments betwen them and their heroes as they welcomed them back down the tunnel. They came out hopefuls, they returned champions.

Mail Sport's veteran reporter, Dominic King, who has covered Liverpool for many years, has just summed up the feeling on the club's official X live stream, which is being viewed by more than 400,000 fans.

'Pure, unadulterated happiness. It's been the perfect season almost in the league. They've been faultless.'

Kostas Tsimikas is the first Greek player to win a Premier League title, while Dominik Szoboszlai is the first man from Hungary to do so.

There he is, decked out in his specially designed champions shirt. It's good to see Darwin happy. Like many footballers, the spotlight has fallen on him in an unkind way this season. Let this 25-year-old man enjoy his moment and the part he has played in it.

Looks like the sort of party I'd want to be at. Last year, they ended up in a nightclub (NOT my sort of thing) to see off Jurgen Klopp. I suspect the night is young for these athlete extraordinaires.

Pep Guardiola has paid tribute to his rivals.

'I want to congratulate Liverpool,' he said.

'It is well deserved, a fantastic team, and hopefully next season we can be better.

'This season it couldn't be possible, so congratulations to Liverpool.'

No doubt we'll get more images and videos of their carousing later, but here's a peek inside the Liverpool dressing room. Some form of liquid has hit the camera lens. You may guess what it is.

What a partnership these two have had from opposite sides of the pitch. One of the iconic Liverpool duos.

Liverpool fans sure know how to party.

Their trophy parade for the 2019 Champions League attracted around 750,000 merrymakers, and the one for the domestic cup double drew around 500,000 in 2022.

In truth, they don't need to wait for the official parade to paint the town red. The revelry has already begun.

Alexander-Arnold's every action has been scrutinised in recent months. Any celebration, badge kiss, or facial expression has been clipped up and debated over to a pulp.

We will find out soon enough whether this hero is leaving the Reds. Oliver Holt felt that his substitution off today looked like a goodbye.

Whatever happens, let's pour some respect on his name. Twenty years of service to his boyhood club, two Premier League titles, a Champions league, and a glut of trophies, assists, and special goals, right from that first against Hoffenheim in August 2017, a beautiful free-kick which foretold of all the abundant talent we would come to see.

The pair have caught up with Sky Sports:

Robertson joked: 'The lads were better back then (in 2020)!

'The style of play was high energy and high press, whereas this team is more controlled. But from the manager's point of view, the key things are still the same.

'Our consistency has got us over the line. Week in, week out, we've showed up.

'I've been here a long time now and when I came here, you realise how many legends there are from Scotland. There's a little bit of pressure from that but I took it on board. I won't be anywhere near Kenny but I'm glad I've won a few trophies!'

Mac Allister added: Really pleased (that I joined Liverpool). It was the right decision for me! The team-mates, the club and city is something amazing. I'm really enjoying my time here.'

In 2020, Jordan Henderson had to lift the Premier League trophy at an empty Anfield.

That means it has been 35 years since Liverpool fans truly experienced this in person.

In April 1990, Ian Rush and John Barnes scored in a 2-1 win over QPR to win the title an Anfield. In May, they celebrated with the trophy after beating Derby County 1-0.

Think of how high those names are held in the esteem of fans. A new generation gets that privilege.

Liverpool's fans are on cloud nine. It's a dangerous day to be a climbable object in the vicinity of Anfield. Fans were even mounting LFC TV's facility before outside the ground.

Look at Trent!

I watched Slot as he walked on to the pitch after the final whistle. There was a photographer shadowing him, urging him to raise his arms into the air for a picture. Slot wouldn't do it. He is nothing if not understated.

Salah said: 'It's incredible. At half time I was a little bit frustatred because I had a chance in the first half.

'I wanted to win at Anfield and to be able to score in the game, incredible.

'Of course (I'm targeting more personal accolades). Goal involvements, hopefully I'm going to break it soon (the Premier League record).'

Gakpo said: 'Amazing, amazing, amazing. We worked really hard this year.

'It's a slight chance of position and the way we play, it helped me a lot and I hope I can play many more better games than this one.

'I play in my natural position now so my level of confidence is up. Last year was difficult for me to get real form because I played in so many different positions.'

Well, this is a great full circle moment isn't it? The fans lap it up. As Klopp sang for him, so Slot returns the favour.

This 20th league triumph comes 124 years after their first in 1901.

That season, Tom Watson was the manager, Sam Raybould scored 17 league goals, and their main rivals for the title were Sunderland and Notts County.

It didn't get the same coverage in those days. On that title victory, the Guardian wrote: 'In a football match at West Bromwich yesterday Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion by one goal to nil. This victory secured to Liverpool the championship of the English Association Football League.'

Probably not doing justice to their achievement, that, and we'll endeavour to give you more at Mail Sport!

Slot told Sky Sports:

'For a long time (I felt it could be a reality). For a long time we were on top of the league and had a team able to win it, but the belief we could win was there most of the season.

'It helped that City had a difficult spell.

'I definitely do (feel incredible). People would have been happy if we ended top four, but I don't think that's fair on our players because they're much better than that.

'It's always special to win something, and even more special if you're the first one (first Dutch manager to win PL).'

Speaking to Sky Sports:

'It's difficult to put into words. you see what's happening over here, even before the game, and that tells you more than I can describe.

'They won the league (in 2020), amazing accomplishment, but the fans weren't there, so you could feel how important it was to be here. The boys did an amazing job - as did the fans.

'It wasn't ideal (when Spurs went 1-0 up) but I don't think we could have lost today if you were in the stadium.

'Our main focus was to win this game. Everyone was saying we've already won, but if you're part of it, you're getting it over the line.'

How many people saw this coming in his first season?

What a special day for Slot in front of his wife Mirjam, their children Joep and Isa, and friends who have trekked over from the Netherlands.

His old coach, Jan Everse, told Mail Sport how he rates Slot higher than Guardiola, and you can have a read of that below.

Anfield is an amphitheatre of emotion and outside, thousands of fans are partying on the streets as well. Locals businesses estimated a local crowd of around 120,000 for this one, as many people outside the ground as in it in the streets unfurling into the city.

Speaking to Sky Sports:

'It's special, something we don't take for granted, it's amazing.

'We got the job done and we are truly deserving champions of England.

'The most beautiful club in the world. We deserve all of this. The lads will enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in.

'I was desperate for all the fans around the world and here, and us as well. We've got two Premier League trophies in five years, so that's a good achievement.'

Slot his ripped his jumper off! But don't worry, he has a shirt on. He's not getting booked...

The next song up is Allez, Allez, Allez. People paid hundreds, thousands of pounds to be at Anfield today. You can see why.

Now for a special moment. The players have locked arms with staff and are standing in a line in front of the Kop as everybody sings You'll Never Walk Alone.

Did Gerry and the Pacemakers know how much joy this song could bring people?

Slot looks as giddy as I've ever seen him.

'This feels like a festival,' says Daniel Sturridge, and he's right. Nobody is leaving to 'beat the traffic,' let me tell you that.

A whole generation has waited for a moment like this.

Liverpool have their 20th English league title, drawing level with Manchester United's record, and they will party in suitable style.

Now they're playing Freed From Desire, fans are standing on their seats, Arne Slot is bouncing around with his arms in the air like he's 18 again.

Salah is taking more selfies with supporters, grinning like a child on Christmas Day.

Alisson looks particularly emotional as the fans chant 'One Kiss', that song which has been so kind to them in the past. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson bounce around. They know this party song well.

Red mist from flares has descended on the pitch. Mac Allister kisses his shirt of champions. Anfield is pulsating.

ANFIELD EXPLODES WITH EMOTION!

Van Dijk raises his arms to the sky, Salah's smile is as broad as a river, and the players are bouncing around the pitch.

Richarlison and Elliott are in the book. Elliott pushed his adversary, albeit with a little grin.

Moments away, now. Van Dijk reminds his troops of their obligations... just in case they somehow concede five. Professional until the end.

You can feel the anticipation at Anfield. Slot has just embraced Postecoglou and his staff are on their feet. They've been waiting 35 years to celebrate a league title in person. You almost feel like Anfield might take off.

90+3

Ah, man, Nunez.

He had so much time and space to shoot, but went for the selfless option to try and set up Salah, but overhit the pass. Elliott tried to salvage the play but saw his shot blocked.

You could just tell that Nunez didn't back himself there, when he should have.

Four minutes added on. You'll never Walk Alone is being sung.

Lots of boos at Anfield after Udogie appeared to foul Salah, only for nothing to be given... until Konate was penalised for pushing over Richarlison, who, for the record, has done very little since coming on. He's hardly had a chance. This has been imperious from Liverpool. Unrelenting.

He's had a sticky day but fair play to Udogie, he made an important block there to stop a Salah cross and deny another potential chance. Was a lovely curling dink with the outside of his left book, but Udogie was alert.

Darwin Nunez is on for Mac Allister. Now, after all the noise around him in the last month - and indeed the last three seasons - wouldn't it be quite something if he got in on the act?

That looked a bit like a farewell from Trent Alexander-Arnold as he was substituted. Maybe there's an arrangement with Slot he'd play until the title was won. The idea of his departure is the only sad note of this Liverpool season.

The referee had to briefly stop play for some clean-up due to all the balloons and party paraphernalia, but we're back underway.

Yet more faithful deputies come on. Endo and Elliott are on, as are some red party balloons, 20 minutes before their time!

Alexander-Arnold and Diaz are off.

Slot is preparing a couple more subs. We'll let you guess who.

What a day. Tottenham are shell-shocked, and rightly so. This has been majestic from the Reds.

Dear oh dear. Bad to worse for Tottenham, seventh heaven for Liverpool - or at least fifth heaven.

Alexander-Arnold flicked a cross across goal, and Udogie, under immense pressure from Salah, bundles it into his own goal. The Egypitian wanted to claim that one. A VAR check confirmed that all was in order, and Liverpool soar to 5-1 up.

Slot is giving a chance to two of his faithful squad players, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota. They deserve some minutes today. Gakpo and Szoboszlai are off after playing a brilliant part.

The Anfield faithful have been incanting Salah's name since the goal.

Szoboszlai almost gave them a reason to chant his, too. Spurs slipped up again near their own goal, Salah teed him up on the left side, and he blasted off a shot but Vicario saved.

And Salah has his goal!

You could tell how much he wanted it and how much this crowd did, too.

Salah takes a selfie with a fan, a picture which may well be worth a lot of money one day.

It was a rapid counter-attack from Liverpool, Szoboszlai completely unchallenged as he drove through the middle, and set up Salah on the right flank.

He cuts inside, Udogie provides barely any obstruction, and Salah finishes in the near bottom corner.

Tottenham might as well raise the white flag at this stage because it looks like they're on for a hiding.

Again, a chance for Liverpool as Gravenberch tries his luck from distance, and Vicario spills his save but luckily recovers before any boots scavenge.

At last, something for Spurs fans to get excited about... sort of.

It was a speculative long-range effort from none other than centre-back Kevin Danso, who has had a tough game but would have redeemed himself had that crashed into the net. Instead it piddled wide along the ground.

Salah is desperate for a goal. he cuts in from the right, whips off a curling shot with his left, but sees it blocked for another corner. Liverpool might break a record for corners at this rate.

Vicario misses Robertson's inswinger, Mac Allister and Alexander-Arnold have shots blocked, Salah goes down in the area and the red shirts swarm around the referee but no, they're not getting anything.

More nervy times for Tottenham as Vicario gives the ball away but the Reds fail to tighten their vice-like grip on the title.

This half has been all Liverpool so far. Tottenham look shot of confidence and ideas.

Mac Allister wins another corner with a shot, dragging a shot wide coming in from the right.

The alarm bells that should be ringing: where on earth was Udogie? Mac Allister could have built himself a homestead on all the land he had there.

There it was. The Arne Slot chant that Klopp instituted last year. The Liverpool fans have so much love for their manager, whose wife, kids, and friends are here today, coming from the Netherlands.

He hasn't found it easy being away from his loved ones, but all his dedication to the cause it being shown on the pitch.

Liverpool have Spurs pinned back with a succession of corners.

Why didn't Gakpo shoot?

Lovely, but baffling. Gakpo and Mac Allister just ghosted throught the Spurs ramparts in the box with a luxurious give and go, but yards from goal, the Dutchman tried to be too clever and play it across from Salah rather than just bust the net.

I don't think any Liverpool fans were too worried when Spurs took the lead. Spurs have a habit of making things better for other teams.

The phrase 'Dr Tottenham will see you now' has not taken hold this season for nothing.

Ange Postecoglou made a couple of changes at half-time.

Kulusevski and Sarr are on, Gray and Maddison are off.

Away we go. In less than an hour, Liverpool will be champions, surely.

When Klopp took the mic at Anfield last May and sang his successor's name - 'Arne Slot, la la la la la la la' - little did we know how worthy of that ditty the Dutchman would become.

Liverpool were tipped, realistically, for the top four and no more this season. Slot has ripped up the expectations since day one.

A little snapshot into the mentality of Arne Slot. With his team 3-1 up and surely champions of England, the boss has been punching the air in frustration several times when his team have lost possession or a refereeing decision has gone against them.

He is playing the game, not the occasion, and is constantly trying to raise standards. It is why Liverpool will be title winners in about an hour.

Do you agree with our Anfield man Lewis Steele? I'm inclined to agree. Mac Allister has got better and better this season.

Just thought I'd answer this question. Even if Liverpool win the title, they will not lift the actual Premier League trophy today. That can wait for May.

No doubt there will be scenes of euphoria at full time and some celebration to mark the occasion.

They're on course for a first title since 2020 and only their second in 35 years.

This is a statement performance from Liverpool, full vindication that they are worthy of inheriting Manchester City's crown.

Pulsating on the attack, boulders at the back (besides the switch-off for Solanke's goal).

A nicely worked free-kick from Spurs, with Maddison feeding Udogie down the left flank, and he finds Tel in the box, but his shot is blocked.

For a match spent mostly in their half, it's nice for Postecoglou's men to stretch their legs down the other end and remember how to shoot.

Solid hands from Alisson as he catches a cross from Tel, which was hurtling through the air fast enough to unsettle the defence.

Tel has been the rare bright spark for Spurs so far today. Solanke for his goal too, I guess, but the wide man has looked the more consistent threat.

Four minutes added on.

Some brutal last-ditch defending from Konate, who denies Tel a tap-in with a sliding tackle at the back post. The VAR check has decided that he played the ball, but there was contact and Tel went down writhing in pain before hobbling off.

They'd probably call that an agricultural challenge.

Just to confirm, Gakpo has been put in the book for the crime of removing his shirt while scoring a potentially title-winning goal. What a rebel.

How many can Liverpool realistically score? Six, seven, eight?

In a word, Tottenham's defending so far has been pathetic.

Liverpool are blossoming now, strolling the ball around Anfield with the fans in full song.

Alexander-Arnold tires a half-volley from the edge of the area, but Ben Davies nuts it away.

Another. Stunner. Cody Gakpo, take a bow.

Liverpool had a corner, which was repeatedly delayed as the breeze kept carrying the ball away from the spot.

Mac Allister takes it, and Spurs fail to clear. Gakpo picks up the ball near the 18-yard line, jiggles past a mob of feet including those of Solanke, and scoops a shot into the far corner. A thing of beauty and Anfield is bouncing.

Trent Alexander-Arnold tried to join the party as he struck the free-kick, but you'd need a pilot's licence to retrieve that one. Nice try.

Maddison fouls Szoboszlai, just came steaming into the back of him and through his heel.

It's another free-kick for Liverpool and they probably have the goal in their crosshairs here. Alexis Mac Allister, anyone?

Just a reminder that Liverpool won the reverse fixture 6-3. I don't think we're done here yet.

A Spurs fan sat near me is raging. What were they thinking trying to play out from the corner flag? Inexplicable on this occasion.

A goal worthy of a title!

Alexis Mac Allister has just blown the roof off Anfield, and it doesn't even have one (not across the whole stadium, anyway...)!

Spurs are punished for playing out from the back as Gravenberch wins the ball in the final third and shepherds it to his team-mate... who lashes it into the roof of the net from far out. With his weaker left foot. Wow.

Here are the clips of the two goals. What a fitting start to the game.

Alright, alright, so it's not going to be 2-1, not just yet anyway. Gakpo put it in but Gravenberch was offside in the build-up.

There we go! After a nervous wait, Anfield springs into jubilation. Danso has just played Szoboszlai onside, and he squared it to Diaz to prod into an empty net.

Anfield is ready to erupt. There's a VAR check for a goal for Luis Diaz. They're just discerning whether his assister, Szoboszlai, had strayed offside...

Well that wasn't in the script. The way fans have been talking, they were coming to a party rather than a football match. Tottenham have taken first blood, though, and now Liverpool's upcoming coronation looks a bit less certain. You can hear a pin drop in here.

Oh my... did anyone see that coming? And the irony!

Dominic Solanke has put Tottenham ahead with a header from a corner, rising above Gravenberch to meet it. The former Liverpool man has come back to haunt his old club.

Almost, Cody!

Corner fun for Liverpool. Van Dijk sliced Spurs open with one of his trademark diagonal balls, and Gakpo forced a save from Vicario high at the near post.

Vicario punched the cross away, but Liverpool got it back to Gakpo in the box, and he just tried the most flamboyant overhead kick after kicking it up to himself. Would've been iconic.

Tel is looking quite the part on the left flank, but might meet his match in Liverpool's muscularity.

Liverpool shrugged him off the ball and released Salah down the left flank, but he miscues a cross over to Diaz and Spurs can breathe a sigh of relief. That was two on two and the Reds smelled blood.

Spurs are eager to be the party-poopers today and have been swaggering in the early stages.

Tel causes danger with a bulleted low cross, and it was all hands to the panic station at the back, but Johnson was offside near the back post.

Liverpool have an early free-kick, with Mac Allister standing over it, but they play it wide rather than risk a long shot.

Salah elicits the first roar from the crowd as he curls a shot over the bar from the edge of the area. He's in the mood.

And we're underway at Anfield!

Spurs have an early call for a corner after a lovely drive by Maddison down the left, but Konate snuffed out the danger. Anfield is boisterous.

An incredibly moving rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone booms out under the Sunday sunlight.

Liverpool are in a huddle near the centre circle, just taking it in.

Let's do this, folks. Thanks to Kim for taking the blog until this point.

Anfield is loud!!!!

Champeones rings out from the home support.

There is only one other team that Mohamed Salah prefers playing against instead of Tottenham.

The Egyptian winger has scored 15 goals against Spurs in all competitions, only registering more against Man United (16).

Only the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer, Alan Shearer (14) has scored more against the North London outfit than Liverpool's no.11 (11).

If Liverpool win the title today - it is easy to forget that it is still 'if' - does that make them the most successful club in England?

Well, the scarves hanging on the merchandise stalls around Anfield say it does. It is hard to argue against it. Liverpool and United will be level on 20 domestic titles.

Add in Liverpool's six European Cups and the debate's over. England's biggest club? That's another question.

The Reds are out on the pitch warming up.

Some very serious faces out there, it will be interesting to see how Arne Slot's men handle the pressure and expectation on them today.

Like I said before, they only need a single point from today to be crowned champions.

Will they do it?

Ange Postecoglou on Spurs potentially spoiling the party:

Not motivating but it's a great challenge.

There's no doubt that when you play on a day like this, you understand the implications for the home side and we want to make sure you play your part in making it as tough as possible for them

Arne Slot speaking to Sky Sports about the warm welcome his Liverpool side received as they arrived to Anfield:

Yeah, that was impressive, definitely.

We felt the support throughout the whole season and today even before the game, it was louder, more than normal.

And I think that is also normal but as I said, there is a job to do for us and it is nice that the players feel the support of the fans but we have to be ready for Tottenham because we play against Tottenham.

Just over a half-hour to go until kick-off now...

And Liverpool are ready to go!

Speaking to Liverpool FC ahead of the game, Cody Gakpo said:

This is the moment we all worked so hard for the whole year,

Obviously we lost the [Carabao Cup] final, we were out of the FA Cup, we got knocked out of the Champions League as well. They were moments where we were maybe not as good as we wanted to be.

But if we can win it at the weekend it’s an amazing season for all of us and something we can really build on in the future.

When you start football and you get knowledge about the leagues in Europe, I think everybody can agree that the Premier League is one of if not the best league in Europe and the world

To become hopefully a Premier League winner is every footballer’s dream at some point in life. That would be an amazing achievement.

Heading into today's game, many speculated who the Spurs' manager would be rooting for deep down, as it was revealed the Australian coach grew up a fan of the Reds.

Speaking about that time, Postecoglou said:

I'm an almost 60-year-old adult. I've gone past my boyhood crushes, so it's got no impact whatsoever.

I have great admiration for the football club.

Yes, I supported it when I was younger, but that was 50-odd years ago, so we've well and truly moved on since then.

You want to go there and compete against obviously a very good side - and compete well

What a scene this is.

The Liverpool team bus is greeted with a cloud of Red smoke as they make their way into Anfield ahead of their title-deciding game.

Imagine being a player and looking out to that crowd, who are singing at the top of their lungs, showing their unwavering support for the team who will soon fulfil every Red fans dreams of celebrating a Premier League title in the city one again after they missed out during their 2019-20 winning campaign when fans couldn't celebrate properly due to Covid.

Mail Sport's Oliver Holt is also at Anfield today and has provided us with some great images of just how wild these celebrations may get if Liverpool clinch their 20th title this evening.

If Arne Slot lifts the Premier League trophy today, what do we think Reds...

Is he better than Jurgen Klopp? Lets debate it.

Mail Sport's very own Aadam Patel is outside Anfield right now and has provided incredible footage of the sheer magnitude of support the Reds have today.

Gary Neville has admitted that Liverpool's imminent 20th league title will end the long-running debate over who is England's most successful club, and says it is a 'sobering' and painful moment for everyone associated with Manchester United.

Liverpool are on the brink of being crowned Premier League champions, needing only to avoid defeat against Tottenham at Anfield to secure the trophy with four rounds of fixtures still to play.

Should they complete the job, it would be their second Premier League title but their 20th English top-flight championship overall, drawing them level with United.

I must admit, I'm very rarelt left speechless or in awe but looking at these pictures ahead of today's game.

One can't help but want to be there soaking up all the celebratory atmosphere.

They say Anfield is one of the most difficult away days and something about today makes me feel like it could be even more daunting for the Spurs players today.

If the Reds manager either a draw or a win today Arne Slot will be crowned a Premier League champion in his very first season in English football.

The milestone is an incredible accomplishment as only four other men have completed the feat before.

Jose Mourinho was the very first to do so with Chelsea back in 2004-05, followed by Carlo Ancelotti with the Blues once again in the 2009-10 season.

Manuel Pelligrini was next, experiencing glory in his first-ever season with Manchester City.

With another Chelsea manager finishing off the list with an impressive 93-point haul in 2016-17.

The one and only Antonio Conte.

Ahead of kick-off at 4:30pm, our friends at SQUAWKA have broken down the stats behind today's game.

And it's no surprise who they have singled out to be a game changer at Anfield today.

Mohamed Salah has been the Reds' talisman this season and shows no signs of slowing down.

The Egyptian King has scored 11 goals in 16 Premier League meetings with Tottenham, however, Liverpool's no.11 has failed to score in each of his past four league games.

So he will be eager to make a lasting impression today,

For all the Liverpool fans who missed out on a ticket to Anfield today.

Here is a message from Arne Slot from his column in the matchday programme:

The overriding message today is very simple – we have a job to do.

It is a job that everyone associated with Liverpool FC should be excited about because the possibilities it creates are there for all to see but, as with every other game we have played this season, hard work will be absolutely crucial.

So focusing on the job at hand is not just desirable, it is absolutely essential. On and off the pitch, our aim has to be to get as close as we possibly can to our A-game.

Reaching those standards will not be easy – it never is – but it needs to be the objective of everyone who is inside the stadium today.

So what we have now and in the remaining weeks of the season is a wonderful opportunity that we should grasp with both hands.

The heavy favourites heading into today's clash have also have the better history when it comes to the two sides previous meetings,

The Reds hold an impressive stat, of being unbeaten in their last 15 home games against the North London side in all competitions, winning the last three.

Tottenham have won just two of their last 24 ties against Liverpool in the Premier League meetings against Liverpool (D6, L16), with both victories coming at home.

• Previous meetings: 186
• Liverpool wins: 92
• Spurs wins: 50
• Draws: 44

Speaking to Sky Sports, the under-fire Spurs manager revealed that the North London side are trying to block out all the external noise surrounding their disappointing season.

Within the football department we've tried to maintain a discipline about how we behave and keep the noise on the outside away from us,

We came back from Frankfurt on a high and everyone was buzzing, then it was another disappointing game in the week [a 2-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest] and that flips 180 degrees. From our perspective it's really important we cocoon ourselves from it.

It's not easy because as much as I can say to the players 'block out the noise', we all live in the outside world. If I could keep them locked up in here for the next month I'd be OK.

What you look at is the behaviour of the players; the way they are training, the way they are talking. For the most part they are handling it pretty well.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has asked his team to give one final push after a historic season in which new manager Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp and led Liverpool to the title against the odds.

One more push'

One more job to be done. One more big effort needed, from each and every one of us. One more.

All season long I have been speaking about the need to focus only on the next game, the next challenge.

That mindset has been so important for us as we have chased our goals. We deal with what’s there in front of us rather than getting carried away with the bigger picture, with the outside noise.

Sunday, of course, is going to be a little more difficult in that respect. 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.

But to do it at Anfield, in front of the most incredible supporters in the world? That’s something else entirely. It’s our dream, it’s your dream, and our aim on Sunday is to make sure that dream comes true.

Pictures have already started to drop of Liverpool fans making their way to Anfield.

And there's no need to guess on whether the home crowd is feeling confident or not about today's game.

The merchandise and new murals speak for themselves.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are wallowing deep in 16th in the Premier League and have only claimed one win in their last five league ties.

However, the North London side have had a swing in momentum, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they will come up against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt.

Their progression in Europe's second-best league has helped save face for Spurs and Postecoglou.

And all personnel from Spurs heading into Anfield today, whether that is Ange or the players, they will be making sure they don't just hand this title right to their 'top six' rivals.

One thing is sure, Spurs will make Arne Slot's side work for this title today if it is to happen but the North London side will be hoping they can delay the celebrations in Merseyside for another matchday.

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage of today's crunch Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Reds could seal their 20th top-flight title this afternoon in the fortress that is Anfield.

Arne Slot's men face one simple task, don't lose.

If they manage a draw or one better, a win against a Spurs side who have been way off the pace in recent weeks, the Reds will further cement themselves in the history books.

They will become the only club alongside Manchester United to lift a 20th top-flight title.

So Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Co, how's your nerve?
