Champions League finalists Liverpool could win the Premier League for the first time on Sunday – but the Reds WON'T get their hands on the trophy, regardless of the result.
Despite having amassed more points than any of the club's 18 League Championship-winning sides, Jurgen Klopp's men's destiny is not in their own hands and they could still beat Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season and be denied the title by Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's men go into their final fixture at Brighton & Hove Albion with a one point lead at the summit and if they beat the south coast outfit then they will retain their crown.

As a result, the Premier League trophy will be at Brighton's Amex Stadium on Sunday waiting to be awarded to City's players should they prove triumphant.
Any dropped points from the reigning champions though and Liverpool could snatch the title themselves in dramatic fashion and a replica trophy will be at Anfield ready to be presented to the Reds should they end up on top.
According to The Times , the copy is identical in design and material – solid sterling silver – to the real thing.
Genuine winners' medals have been sent out to be ready to be distributed to the triumphant squad at both stadia.
If Liverpool are crowned champions of England for a 19 time then they will get their hands on the genuine trophy at a later date.
