Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, with their title party still in full swing.
What could have been a pivotal match in the Premier league is instead a chance for the Reds to continue their celebrations, and the Gunners are expected to give them a guard of honour when they take to the pitch as champions.
However, this Matchday 36 clash still has plenty of appeal: Mikel Arteta's side still need points to secure qualification for next season's Champions League, while Liverpool must turn around the performance they displayed in their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea in order to underline their superiority.

Liverpool vs. Arsenal prediction, odds, betting tips
- TSN Pick: Liverpool (5/4, betway)
- Score prediction: Liverpool 3-1 (14/1, Spreadex)
Liverpool are still celebrating their 20th league title — equaling Manchester United's domestic record — while hoping to lift the trophy at home in the final game of the season against Crystal Palace. However, Arne Slot is already thinking about what's next: at Stamford Bridge, he fielded several fringe players who had struggled for game time this term, and their performance was well below par. The 3-1 defeat was a wake-up call.
This surely won't be as easy for the Gunners, given the impact of visiting Anfield and, above all, the heartbreak of their Champions League semi-final exit in midweek at the hands of PSG.
Arsenal are being chased by Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea (the last team in the Champions League spot), Nottingham Forest, and Aston Villa in their bid to qualify back to Europe's top competition again for next season, and they can't let up in the final stretch.

Liverpool vs. Arsenal best bet
Mohamed Salah to score the last goal of the match: (7/2, 10bet)
It's unusual for the same player to top both the Premier League scoring charts and the assists charts, but seeing Mohamed Salah at the summit this season shows that he has had a truly exceptional campaign. With 28 goals and 18 assists so far, he was directly involved in 46 of Liverpool's 81 championship celebrations, and the stats provide an important guide: of the aforementioned total goals, seven were scored in the first half and 21 in the second half! The Egyptian has proven to be very good at putting the icing on the cake.
Liverpool -1.5 handicap: (10/3, Copybet)
In addition to the massive number of goals scored mentioned in the previous prediction, Liverpool, in particular, have made a habit of scoring against Arsenal. Of their last 10 Premier League matches against the Gunners, they have scored at least twice in eight of those. Their record also underlines their supremacy, as they have not lost to Arsenal at Anfield since the 2012/13 season in the Premier League. To further strengthen the tally, Arne Slot's team has seven consecutive Premier League home wins, having not lost since September 14 of last year (0-1 vs. Nottingham Forest).
