Liverpool have been handed a hint as to how Jordan Henderson might be allowed to lift the club's maiden Premier League trophy during the final match of the season.
After Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga, they were allowed to celebrate their achievement almost normally - albeit with no supporters inside the Allianz Arena.
It had looked like adaptations to the ceremony might be made when Red Bull Salzburg lifted their Austrian domestic trophy by standing in circles to keep the players apart a few weeks ago.
But the situation in Germany appears to have paved the way for Liverpool to be allowed by the Premier League to do something similar.
Bayern have now won eight league titles on the bounce since Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund won the league title in 2012.
Liverpool will be able to use the final seven matches of the 2019/20 season to prepare for the next one, and will lift their trophy at Anfield against Chelsea in a which is pencilled in for July 18.
They will also be able to focus on beating a number of records including the most home wins in a Premier League campaign. The Reds have currently got a 100 per cent record at Anfield and have three more matches to play there.
