Young Chelsea squad will hope paying tribute to Premier League champions is not an experience they have to repeat

Several high-profile duels could decide Chelsea's crucial Premier League clash against the champions on Sunday afternoon. The gulf was seemingly minimal when Liverpool locked horns with Chelsea back in October, but the Blues head into Sunday's clash at Stamford Bridge a whopping 22 points behind the newly-crowned Premier League champions.

A 5-1 win over Tottenham last weekend saw Liverpool crowned Premier League champions, with the Reds producing a fantastic display to lift title number 20 with four games remaining. Winning the Premier League title early means that the Reds will receive a guard of honour in their remaining four games, starting with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
