Liverpool play their first match since being crowned Premier League champions today. The Reds travel to Chelsea (4.30pm kick-off) fresh from sealing top spot on a memorable afternoon at Anfield one week ago.
Already 15 points clear at the top, Liverpool could extend their advantage over Arsenal to 18 points this afternoon with victory at Stamford Bridge after their second-placed rivals lost 2-1 at home to Bournemouth. It would only serve further to demonstrate the Reds' domination of this season's English top flight.
But how should Arne Slot play it? The Liverpool boss had indicated he could prepared to rotate his squad now they have the title in the bag, after all.
The Premier League is won, now it's time to have some fun - as the saying almost certainly doesn't go. Liverpool are at Chelsea this afternoon aiming to finish the season with a flourish after the first of four guards of honour to salute the new champions.
What, then, is Arne Slot to do? As the Dutchman has already confirmed, rotation will now come to the fore. And it's time a fair few of the fringe players are rewarded for their patience.
In goal, though, it remains Alisson Becker. Trent Alexander-Arnold can continue at right-back, but Kostas Tsimikas is in at left-back. And Jarell Quansah can step in alongside skipper Virgil van Dijk at centre-back.
The midfield can also see a few changes. Wataru Endo can come in alongside Alexis Mac Allister at the base of the midfield, and Harvey Elliott can have a go in the number 10 role.
And while Mohamed Salah remains on the right, Federico Chiesa can play down the middle with Diogo Jota starting on the left flank.
My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Elliott, Jota; Chiesa.
