Liverpool has paid special tribute to NHS workers and health professionals who fought at the front during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League club shared a touching appreciation as it was announced that the UK was suffering 759 more coronavirus deaths, bringing the total to 18,000.
The Liverpool field team used a GPS line marker on the sacred lawn in Anfield to create a love heart over the ‘NHS’ and ‘YNWA’ abbreviation for the club’s anthem Always Never Walk Alone.

Liverpool’s gesture comes a day before Thursday’s ‘Clap for our Carers’, which will take place for a fifth week in a row at 8pm (BST) to thank the brave frontline workers during this crisis.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, has admirably taken the lead in setting up the Players Together initiative, which has reportedly made its first contribution to the NHS, with a pledge of £ 4 million.
The coronavirus pandemic has decimated the sports calendar, and the Premier League is currently suspended indefinitely.

Jurgen Klopp’s team was 35 points above Manchester City at the top of the table before football came to a halt.
It is not yet clear if the season will resume, meaning there remains a chance that Liverpool could be refused their first title in 30 years.
Premier League chiefs continue to talk regularly about when the campaign can resume and are under increasing pressure from clubs to find a solution with a financial crisis looming.
Clubs face a struggle for survival with no income from the broadcaster or money from ticket sales, but it is hoped that the season can resume in July.
