They've destroyed all before them this season under the watchful eye of the former Liverpool boss whose success with his new club marks his first league title as a manager.
And what a way to do it.

One of the club's most famous and militant supporters comes in the shape of one of Ireland's most loved sons.
West Brom winger James McClean has never made any secret of his love of the Celts and whilst that admirable openness in all his beliefs and principles has sometimes attracted criticism, it's also what makes the Irish international so endearing too.
This is a man who's happy and content with himself, he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.
A man who has consistently offered acts of extreme generosity to those in need.
A man who went out of his way last week just to help a Down Syndrome team get a game that they've been longing for.

James McClean owes nothing to no-one and he certainly doesn't need to hide his love of Celtic Football Club, especially on a day when the league was going to be won for a sixth time in a row.
So, he took to his Instagram page to show his support.

Naturally, when a player of McClean's quality and heart and increasing experience pulls on your club's jersey, you're going to get a little excited.
Especially when you're a club like Celtic who have seen the mercurial Scott Sinclair transform from Villa sub into the SPL's Neymar.
McClean would rip it up in Scotland and that picture was enough for some fans to continue their attempts to convince the winger to join the Celtic party.
Physical flattery was tried.
Then a few attempts to persuade McClean to get involved on the road to 10 in a row.
Others were calling it home.
The wait has ground some people down already though.
Straight down the line, this guy.
Get out of the stands and onto the field...
In case it wasn't clear what people were looking for.
But one fan has a bigger gripe than all of that.
Although the Celtic fans would love him and as sure as you can be that he'd throw everything he has into playing at Parkhead, he's doing alright as it is at West Brom right now and he's just coming off the back of a decent result at Old Trafford too.
Celtic fans might just need to up their chase.
