Here, we look at what clubs and players are rewarded with for winning a Premier League title.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Premier League Trophy<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course, if Liverpool were to win the title, they would receive the Premier League Trophy, with the red-and-white ribbons attached, denoting the club colours. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are actually two Trophies which are identical and include an engraved base detailing past Premier League champions.<\/p>\n<p>During the season, one stays with the Premier League champions, while the other is used by the League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each Trophy stands 3ft 5in (104cm) tall and is 2ft (61cm) wide.

As champions, any negotiating positions for future deals may be strengthened. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But there would also likely be costs from finishing top as players and staff may have contracts that include bonus payments for such success. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>UEFA Champions League spot<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League champions are also guaranteed entry into next season\u2019s UEFA Champions League, although in Liverpool&#8217;s case this has already been secured, as they have confirmed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/news\/4236670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top-five spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>FA Community Shield place<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League champions also earn the right to play in English football\u2019s traditional curtain-raiser to the following season, the FA Community Shield, where the Premier League winners face the winners of the FA Cup, a week before the Premier League season starts. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wall of Champions<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League winners of course also write their name in history.
