In a Formby mansion on Victoria Road, 13 miles from Anfield, two chief architects of Liverpool’s re-emergence as a superpower are mapping out the course towards the club’s 20th league title.

The win sees Slot become just the sixth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season, with his predecessors including Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. He sealed the title with four matches to spare. Liverpool’s 25 wins in 34 matches played has seen them stay top of the pile since November 2, 2024.

Plus there were a lot—and we mean a lot—of Liverpool players bouncing around with their 2024-25 Premier League champion kits on backwards to show off the shiny. Which felt slightly hindered by Liverpool’s 2024-25 home kit having one of the largest collars in the history of kits having collars and made one wonder if maybe they should have found a way to put the shiny on the front of these shirts.
