Manchester City will form an honor guard for the new English Premier League champion Liverpool when they meet next Thursday, city manager Pep Guardiola said.
Liverpool took the title City has had for the past two years this week.
When English football resumed this month, Liverpool’s trip to Etihad Stadium was a potentially decisive game in the title race.
But City’s defeat at Chelsea on Thursday put Liverpool mathematically out of reach, and Guardiola feels it would be sporty to pay tribute to the new champions.
“We are going to do the honor guard, of course,” Guardiola said.
“We always receive Liverpool when they come to our house in an incredible way. They cannot complain and, of course, we will because they deserve it. ”
Liverpool has a 23 point advantage over City’s second place.
