Liverpool will be required to comply with a strict Premier League regulation after lifting the trophy on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s side will take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season, Sunday, May 25.
Anfield is expected to be electric, with both fanbases celebrating recent achievements. Crystal Palace enjoyed their moment after a 1-0 FA Cup triumph over Manchester City last weekend at Wembley.
Liverpool, who clinched the league title with a dominant 5-1 win over Spurs on April 27, have yet to formally lift the trophy.
Captain Virgil van Dijk will be handed the Premier League trophy by club legend Alan Hansen, but Liverpool must follow league protocol during the presentation.
According to the Premier League, two identical trophies exist—both engraved with the names of past champions. One remains with the current titleholders, while the other is retained by the league.
The title-winning club is required to return the trophy to the Premier League at least three weeks before their final game of the season.
How many medals will Liverpool receive?
Per league guidelines, 40 silver medals—each 2.25 inches in diameter—are awarded to the champions. The club decides how to distribute them among players, coaches, and staff, but all players with at least five league appearances must receive one.
Extra medals are only allowed if more than 39 players meet the five-appearance requirement, and approval from the Premier League Board is needed.
Players like Vitezslav Jaros (one appearance), along with Jayden Danns, Trey Nyoni, James McConnell, Tyler Morton, Harvey Davies, and Amara Nallo, are not eligible for medals due to not meeting the five-game threshold.
