A drive through Liverpool right now offers the chance to see countless flags draped from windows and guttering as fans colour their houses in celebration of a 20th league title. One on Queens Drive - two minutes along the busy road where Trent Alexander-Arnold lived as a child - explains such success is "part of our DNA". Around the corner, on Marlborough Road in Tuebrook, one fan has managed to hang a flag from a telephone cable, meaning cars pass under it all day long.

The roads behind The Kop are gridlocked. Not with cars or barriers but with people. One gent stands on the roof of The Park pub - and when I say the roof, I don't mean a ledge or balcony, I mean the top slate, like an overjoyed ballerina. Another is walking around with a plastic Premier League trophy and charging for photos with it. "I've got change you know," he tells one disgruntled - and lost - customer. A reporter is trying to do a piece to camera but is repeatedly mobbed.
