Will Arsenal get a guard of honour after winning Premier League title? | OneFootball

Gunners set to get all the perks for being champions

Arsenal players are waking up on Wednesday morning as Premier League champions, and will soon get all the perks which come with the honour.

Manchester City’s failure to beat Bournemouth last night sparked wild scenes of celebration across north London as fans - and club icon Ian Wright - descended on the Emirates Stadium, and players and staff partied together at the club’s training base in London Colney.

Mikel Arteta stayed away, spending the evening with his family, but will be able to bask in the glory on Sunday as Arsenal end the season at Crystal Palace.

There had been much talk of how strong a team Eagles manager Oliver Glasner would play at Selhust Park, given the club face their first European final - in the Conference League - three days later.

But that is now immaterial, with Arsenal crowned Premier League champions and ready to take the party to south London.

Arsenal will be formally presented with and lift the Premier League trophy after the final whistle at Selhurst Park, but they will be honoured ahead of kick-off with the traditional guard of honour.

Any team who has won the Premier League that same season, is greeted onto the pitch with a guard of honour from the opposition.

The traditional, which dates back generations, continues until the end of the current campaign, so Arsenal will be honoured by Crystal Palace in their final game.
