Anfield prepares to say goodbye

The expectation is that there will be a slight edge at Anfield on Sunday with Champions League qualification still not confirmed but even the most pessimistic of Liverpool fans will know that it would require a very unlikely series of events for Arne Slot's side to miss out from here.

That said, it is imperative that Liverpool calm the nerves early on against Brentford so the focus can be on giving Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson a proper farewell under the sun.

The last thing Liverpool want is for Champions League qualification to be in doubt going into the latter stages of the game and run the risk of Anfield turning and booing the manager and the performance, as we have seen at times this season.

Both players will go down as Liverpool legends in their own right and though this has been a disappointing season for all at Anfield, the least they deserve is a proper goodbye.

There will be mosaics around the ground and banners and flags galore on The Kop and it is set to be an emotional afternoon as Liverpool part ways with two players who have given their all over nine years at the club.
