Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says they'll offer Chelsea a guard of honour ahead of their clash tomorrow.

Rodgers wants Liverpool's players to use the pain of giving Chelsea a guard of honour as the catalyst to revive their fortunes next season.

"It is the protocol and what you do," said Rodgers.

"They deserve to be champions. It's not something the players would like to do but we are a team and a club that has class and dignity, so we will do it and go straight into the game. Hopefully there will be a spur. That is natural."
