Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson says he's not doing cartwheels over the prospect of a guard of honour for champions Chelsea today.

Jose Mourinho's side won the title with victory over Crystal Palace last weekend and when they run out again at Stamford Bridge the visitors are expected to offer their congratulations, as has become the tradition over recent years.

"You have to respect the team because they have been the best team over the season," said Henderson.

"Of course it will be difficult doing that but you have to pay your respects.

"If that (guard of honour) does happen you have to remember the feeling that it is what we want to achieve.

"You have to bottle that and make sure next season we can have a really good go and use it as motivation and drive to push on."
