I'm hoping tomorrow is the moment it happens! If it does, Dua Lipa's 'One Kiss' is getting blasted on the radio for the whole town to hear! Anil: Currently in Paris on a family holiday, booked by the missus months ago on the basis that Liverpool would surely not win the league this early in the season.

We have been lifelong season ticket holders and I thought this would be a special treat on a special day, hopefully! Maggie: I'm travelling to Liverpool with my football friend Richard to be in the incredible atmosphere that will see my lifelong team confirmed Premier League champions. After seeing the last trophy being lifted from my hospital bed during Covid, I admit I shed a tear. This time, I will be raising a glass or two. Keith: Champagne in the fridge, food bought for the pre-match party and the flags will be going up in the morning. My family are coming round and one of my match WhatsApp buddies too, so there will be less thumb action during the game. Bring it on. Come on you mighty Reds - the Slot Machine is rolling!
