Arsenal to Give Liverpool Guard of Honour at Anfield Clash

Arsenal is set to continue the tradition of giving champions Liverpool a guard of honour when they face off at Anfield this weekend. While Premier League rules do not mandate this gesture, it has become a customary show of respect between clubs. Last weekend, Liverpool received a guard of honour from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal’s Gesture of Respect

Despite being in contention for the title earlier in the season, Arsenal’s recent performance slump has put them at risk of missing out on a top-two finish. However, under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, the Gunners previously honored Liverpool with a guard of honour at the end of the 2019-20 season.

Arteta acknowledged Liverpool’s deserving title win, stating, “They deserve to be champions. They deserve to win it, they’ve done it in a manner, in a way that has given no chance to the others and you have to congratulate that.” While the loss may sting, Arteta sees it as motivation for improvement in the future.

In the spirit of sportsmanship, Arsenal’s upcoming guard of honour at Anfield symbolizes respect for Liverpool’s achievement and the competitive spirit that drives both clubs.

Conclusion

The tradition of the guard of honour exemplifies the mutual respect and sportsmanship that define the competitive spirit of football. Arsenal’s gesture towards Liverpool at Anfield serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and respect that underpin the beautiful game.
