Liverpool to lift Premier League trophy on the Kop after Chelsea clash

Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish will present the Premier League trophy and medals to Jurgen Klopp's title winners at Anfield next week.

The Scot was the last Liverpool manager to lift the championship in 1990 and also signed Jordan Henderson, now the club captain, in 2011 during his second spell in charge at the club.

Liverpool will be presented with the Premier League trophy in a special ceremony on the Kop at Anfield following the clash with Chelsea.

After clinching the club’s 19th league title last month, the Reds are set to receive the silverware at their final home match of the 2019-20 campaign next Wednesday.

Reds players and staff will collect the Premier League trophy and their winner’s medals on a special podium built at the centre of the Kop surrounded by fan banners.

Dalglish will join Premier League chief executive Richard Masters to present the trophy and medals.

The Reds squad, led by captain Jordan Henderson – who will lift the trophy at Anfield – have been involved in the planning for the much-anticipated ceremony.

The clash with Chelsea, and the subsequent trophy presentation, will be broadcast free-to-air by Sky on its Pick channel in the UK, to ensure supporters can watch from home.

Liverpool and the Premier League are asking fans to stay at home to enjoy the ceremony, and not travel to Anfield next Wednesday evening.

Supporters can share their celebrations of the Reds’ Premier League title triumph with the club via social media by adding the hashtag #LFCatHome to photographs and videos.
