In Summary

Arsenal, who were their challengers for the bulk of the campaign, will give Arne Slot's side a painful guard of honour on Merseyside.

Premier League champions Liverpool welcome their unsuccessful title challengers Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds secured their second Premier League crown on home soil against north London opposition two weekends ago, beating Tottenham Hotspur 5–1 to guarantee top spot.

Arsenal, who were their challengers for the bulk of the campaign, will give Arne Slot's side a painful guard of honour on Merseyside.

Liverpool were understandably a touch lethargic during their disappointing 3–1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend and will be aiming to return to winning ways on Sunday.

While the result is immaterial, they will be keen to pile more misery on Arsenal.

The Gunners suffered further heartbreak at the end of a demoralising season as they missed out on the Champions League final on Wednesday night.

Beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in their semifinal second leg, it's another season without major silverware for Mikel Arteta and his players, who are yet to secure their place in Europe's premier competition next season.

The capital side will be playing for pride at Anfield but will also be eager to book their place in the Premier League's top five as swiftly as possible to avoid any unwanted nerves.

The match kicks off at 6:30 pm Kenyan time.
