Chelsea captain John Terry has said the prospect of Liverpool offering a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge on Sunday makes him feel 'very uncomfortable'.
The Blues will take to the field for the first time since sealing the title when they welcome Brendan Rodgers' on Sunday and it has become Premier League tradition for the newly-crowned champions to be applauded onto the pitch after securing top spot.
But Terry says the 'strange' custom will likely leave him feeling uncomfortable given the respect he has for Sunday's opponents.
"Very uncomfortable actually," Terry told Fox Sports when asked about the tradition.

"Because they're fellow professionals and fellow peers, it seems a bit strange for them to be standing out. I think both sides will be a bit uncomfortable.
"They're a very good side, people like Stevie G (Steve Gerrard) I have a lot of respect for. It just wouldn't seem right if I'm honest.
"But if it's been instructed to them we'll accept it because we're very proud of what we've achieved but with that same token not being too ungrateful."
