Liverpool announce trophy parade date

Newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool have announced the date for their open-top bus trophy parade.

The Reds went a goal down against Tottenham before scoring five with no reply to cement their 20th top-flight trophy.

There was a party atmosphere during the 5-1 victory with Mohamed Salah's selfie celebration encapsulating the mood around Anfield.

Monday 26th May is the date set for the parade with the bus setting off from Allerton Maze at 14:30 BST.

It will take a nine-mile route around Liverpool before finishing on Blundell Street.

Arne Slot's title-winning side are expected to parade in front of hundreds of thousands of fans in a celebration that will last for around three to five hours.

What is the parade route?

The victory parade will start at Allerton Maze before taking the following roads:

• Queens Drive
• Mill Bank
• West Derby Road
• Islington
• Leeds Street
• The Strand
• Blundell Street

Where to watch Liverpool's trophy parade

Allerton Maze

This is the roundabout that links Allerton Road, Queens Drive and Menlove Avenue and is earlier on in the route so delays will be less of an issue.

The area will quickly fill up several hours before the bus goes past so make sure you arrive early to ensure a decent spot.

Leeds Street

A short walk down from the Superlambanana, this is a significantly quieter spot and you can likely get much closer to the bus before it enters the Albert Dock Area.

During previous parades, which this journey shares its route with, it has been very accessible to get a good view, just before it gets very hectic.

Queens Drive by the Rocket flyover

At the end of the M62 motorway, the Rocket flyover is an ideal place to view the team bus as there is a large number of pedestrianised areas that can see the road for a substantial distance.

Can you attend the parade for free?

Liverpool Football Club will fully cover the cost of the event with fans invited to line the entire route at no cost.

How do Liverpool finish their season?

A trip to Stamford Bridge awaits the Reds before they take on Arsenal at Anfield the following week.

They then face Brighton for the final Monday Night Football fixture of the season.

Slot's side round off their campaign with the visit of Crystal Palace in what might be Trent-Alexander Arnold's final game for the club.

The 26-year-old is yet to publicly announce a decision on his future with his current Liverpool contract set to expire at the end of the season.
