Manchester City give Liverpool a guard of honour as the newly-crowned Premier League champions return to action for the first time since clinching their historic title

Liverpool stars were welcomed onto the Etihad Stadium pitch with a guard of honour from Manchester City as the newly-crowned Premier League champions played their first game since winning the title.

Jurgen Klopp's men have dominated the title race from the off, and were duly crowned champions last week after City's defeat at Chelsea saw the Anfield club end their 30-year wait for a league title.

And City stars lined the Etihad turf to applaud their rivals as their two-year reign at the summit of English football came to an end.
