Liverpool wrapped up their second ever Premier League title in emphatic fashion with a 5-1 win against Spurs at Anfield last Sunday.
They are fifteen points ahead of second place Arsenal, who lost 2-1 to Bournemouth on Saturday, with a game in hand before this afternoon's encounter.
A long-standing Premier League tradition sees opposing players honour the new champions by applauding them onto the pitch before each game.
Arne Slot's side will receive a guard of honour for their remaining fixtures against Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace, before lifting the trophy in front of the Anfield crowd on May 25.
Liverpool won the title in 2020 with seven games remaining and received applause from their opponents, albeit without fans in the grounds.
