Manchester City’s players, are to give Liverpool guard of honour, after the Anfield side were confirmed English Premier League champions for 2019-2020 season on Thursday last week.
According to the report by BBC Sports, the Liverpool guard of honour which will be their first in 30-years was confirmed by Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola.
Liverpool guard of honour will come when the two sides meet on Thursday at the Etihad Stadium, for yet another Premier League game.
Liverpool were confirmed Champions after Machester City were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea on Thursday. Liverpool only needed the game between Chelsea and City to either end in a draw, or a Chelsea win to be confirmed champions. It will be Liverpool’s first game since their 30-year wait for a league title.
“We are going to do the guard of honour of course,” said City boss Guardiola.
“We will greet Liverpool, when they come to our house, in an incredible way. We are going to do it because they deserve it.”
Meanwhile, Guardiola has again refused to say whether he will be willing to extend his City contract when it expires in 2021.
By then, he will have spent five seasons in Manchester, longer than he was in charge of Barcelona, and there is speculation he will be looking for another challenge.
Speaking before Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final at Newcastle, Guardiola said: “I am incredibly hungry for this part of the season and the next one and after that we will see.
“I am incredibly satisfied to be at this club. I don’t want to think too much about things that are far away.”
