The Premier League season may not be over yet but that has not stopped Liverpool 's title celebrations from starting or continuing.
The Reds were crowned champions just over three weeks ago after a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield confirmed their triumph.
Arne Slot 's side have failed to win either Premier League match since that heady day - losing 3-1 at Chelsea on May 4, before drawing 2-2 with Arsenal on May 11.
It is not uncommon for teams to take their foot off the pedal after a momentous occasion, and that has applied to Liverpool - who have blown off some well-earned steam since beating Spurs.
And the latest instance of that was captured on camera on Sunday as left back Kostas Tsimikas enjoyed a Chinese food order just 24 hours before their trip to Brighton.
Uploaded on TikTok, Tsimikas is filmed paying and collecting a Chinese food order reportedly from Peacock Inn Chinese Restaurant in Ormskirk, Lancashire.

The Liverpool defender was videoed by Everton supporters, who were enjoying a meal themselves, and they duly gave the Greek some light-hearted stick.
Belting out a rendition of their 1984 song Spirit of the Blues by Kinsley Music, the Toffees fanbase's exchange with Tsimikas sees him raise a wry smirk before leaving the restaurant.
His food of choice may raise some eyebrows among those connected with Liverpool, with the champions playing at Brighton on Monday night.
It's the latest act of celebratory indulgence from Slot's squad after some high-profile celebrations already.
After the 2-2 draw with Arsenal, many of the Reds squad travelled to Dubai.
One video circulating on social media showed several members of the first team strolling around the lavish Atlantis The Royal hotel last Tuesday. Their temporary abode boasts of being 'the most ultra-luxury experiential resort in the world' and it's eye-watering prices would certainly bolster this claim.
The ninth-best hotel in the world, according to Theworlds50best.com, will set you back £6,996 for a 'Skyscape Penthouse' at short notice. The 196 square-foot split-level penthouse includes a massive terrace with an infinity pool, jacuzzi and views of the Arabian Sea.
More expensive rooms are available, such as the £25,092 'Panoramic Penthouse', but for those in search of the 'budget' option, look no further than the modest 'Royal Club King' - which comes in at 'just' £840-per-night.
The Reds stars have also been seen taking in the glorious views on the high seas, with social media videos showing the group enjoying life on a massive yacht
The Reds stars were also been seen taking in the glorious views on the high seas, with social media videos showing the group enjoying life on a massive yacht.
In the footage, the likes of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, goalkeeper Alisson Becker as well as Tsimikas, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota can be seen feasting around a mammoth table with a panoply of delicacies.
While the Reds roster are enjoying their time in Dubai, manager Slot has been seen living it up in Ibiza.
Papped by the likes of Eastenders legend Dean Gaffney, Slot was welcomed to O Beach with Queen's 'We are the Champions' playing, while a group of women held up cards that read 'Champions!'
After being patted on the back as he made his way to a DJ booth as a VIP, Slot put on the shades and appeared to think about trying his luck on the decks with the 1970s song continuing to play.
Slot didn't appear eager to sing along, but was all smiles as he looked around and embraced with others involved at the party.
Other social media footage saw Slot posing for photos, and the Reds boss being called into the DJ booth as a VIP as the women arrived with their 'Champions!' cards.
At the end of the song, there was a loud cheer as 'Freed From Desire' began to play - a song Liverpool have often sung when they have won trophies in recent times.
The club designed miniature cakes dedicated to the outgoing long-serving right-back
Finally, as the chorus broke out, Slot took in the music and began to dance and sing.
Since those celebrations abroad, the first-team players, staff and others came together at the weekend for Trent Alexander-Arnold's farewell party.
Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, laid on a lavish personal summer festival with a band, flamethrowers, bars, and barbecue food at the club's AXA Training Centre.
And the fun didn't stop there, with beach games, a kids' zone, fairies on stilts, crazy golf, and even cakes dedicated to him under the party's 'Summer of 66 (his shirt No)' theme.
