A huge banner celebrating Liverpool's title win has been unveiled on a pub near Anfield. The banner created by Paddy Power also takes a swipe at Gary Neville following his prediction at the start of the season.
Arne Slot's side will lift the Premier League trophy today following the game against Crystal Palace. It will be the first time the Reds have lifted the league title in front of fans in 35 years.
Liverpool's historic Premier League victory sees the club go level with Manchester United on 20 league titles. Virgil van Dijk will lift the trophy above his head just after 6pm this evening and it is a moment that fans have waited a long time for.
For many inside Anfield today it will be the first time they have seen the Reds lift the league title after missing out in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
And for fans who walk past the Belmont pub on West Derby Road will see the banner created by Paddy Power. It says: "Congratulations Liverpool, the team Gary Neville predicted would finish fifth."
Back on the first Monday Night Football of the season Neville predicted that Manchester United would finish in third place, two places ahead of Liverpool.
At the time he said: "My view would be that the impacts of Klopp will take its toll just going off evidence of history.
“That’s it. Evidence of history of a manager like that leaving at some point, I think there’ll be some pain this season for Liverpool, and it could cost them.”
The former Manchester United defender predicted that Arsenal would be champions with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea finishing in the top four.
Tomorrow Liverpool will parade the Premier League trophy around the city with hundreds of thousands expected to line the streets. It will be the first parade in the city since the Reds won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in 2022.
The victory parade route will start at Allerton Maze and will travel northbound on Queens Drive towards the Childwall Fiveways roundabout and Rocket flyover. From there the bus will go along Queens Drive, Mill Bank, West Derby Road, Islington, Leeds Street and The Strand before finishing at Blundell Street.
Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team has been liaising with businesses and residents on the route to make sure they are aware of the event and the impact it may have.
The parade is scheduled to get under way at 2.30pm BST and is expected to last between three and five hours.
