Liverpool: Liverpool, the Premier League champions, are set to play their final game of the season against Crystal Palace at Anfield tonight, where they will lift the championship trophy in front of their fans.
According to Thai News Agency, this marks the last match of the 2024-2025 English Premier League season. Liverpool, who secured their 20th English Premier League title, will welcome Crystal Palace, the current FA Cup champions, at 10:00 p.m. Manager Arne Slot aims to conclude the season triumphantly at Anfield. Joe Gomez is expected to return to the field after a lengthy hamstring injury, whereas Alexis Mac Allister remains unfit. Adjustments are anticipated following their previous defeat to Brighton, with key players like Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Curtis Jones, and Luis Diaz set to return. Trent Alexander-Arnold might be benched ahead of a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
Crystal Palace, under Oliver Glassner, will be missing key players Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton due to injuries, while Nathaniel Clyne and Ben Chilwell are sidelined by illness. Despite these absences, Ismaila Sarr, Ebereshi Ese, and Jean-Philippe Mateta are ready to contribute on the field.
Following the match, Liverpool plans to celebrate their title win with an open-top bus parade around the city tomorrow. The parade will follow the same 15 km route as the 2019 UEFA Champions League victory celebration. Over one million fans are expected to participate, a contrast to the 2020 title win under Jurgen Klopp, which went uncelebrated due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In Thailand, Liverpool fans are organizing 'National Reds Day' to commemorate their team's 20th league championship. The celebration will feature a float parade with die-hard fans and influencers, including former Liverpool player John Arne Riise. The parade will begin and end at Central World, with stops at Ratchadamri Road, Victory Monument, and Central Ladprao. The area in front of Central World will be transformed to resemble Anfield Stadium, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere.
