Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions after Manchester City lost to Chelsea on Thursday.
The league was put on hold in March after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic but football returned from June 17 after all clubs voted to return to action as part of Project Restart to conclude the season.
Jurgen Klopp's side came back to a goalless draw with city rivals Everton at Goodison Park before a 4-0 win against Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's side ran out 3-0 winners in their game in hand against Arsenal before demolishing Burnley 5-0.
This means Liverpool were handed their crown with help from Frank Lampard's Chelsea.
The Reds now travel to Manchester City next week as league winners and that poses a question about whether the Citizens will give Jurgen Klopp's side a guard of honour.
A guard of honour is when a group of people line-up to congratulate others on their achievement and in Premier League terms it is seen as a mark of respect with two lines of players from the opposing side clapping the title-winning players onto the pitch.
However, it is not compulsory for any team to give another a guard of honour, even if they are the newly-crowned champions.
For the ceremony to take place, both clubs involved would have to agree to it before the match and no football authority has any influence over what the agreement should be.
In England, traditions of giving the title winners a guard of honour are well-respected and well-honoured - with the first of these to have occurred more than half a century ago.
New rules in place since the season resumed has seen teams come out separately prior to kick-off, with the away teams often coming out first in order to maintain a form of social distancing before the match itself, where such a thing is impossible.
This could mean that a guard of honour is ruled out because of safety reasons over the coronavirus pandemic and Liverpool could have to wait for any guard of honour proceedings. Or they may try and come up with an alternative method to observe some form of social distancing.
