Fans' wait for Anfield title celebration set to end
April 27, 2025
|The Straits Times
In 2020, Liverpool fan Wesley Wee had plans to catch the Reds' Premier League coronation in person, but that was scuppered as the league was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 44-year-old operations control manager is hoping to make up for it this time around.
On April 26, he flew to England for the Reds' Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, where Arne Slot's men will clinch a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title as long as they avoid defeat.
This will be the fifth trip to Anfield for this Liverpool fan of 35 years.
He recalled: "We had tickets for the Palace game in (March) 2020 and it was supposed to be like the coronation game. Then the pandemic hit, they shut down the games and everybody got quarantined."
The EPL resumed behind closed doors in June, when the Reds finally sealed their first English top-tier title in 30 years after Manchester City lost 2-1 at Chelsea.
Wee's trip this time came about by a stroke of luck.
