Manchester United legend Roy keane in on the guard of honour debate as Liverpool prepare to receive one when they visit Chelsea on Sunday.
The Reds clinched the Premier League title with four game remaining last week after thrashing Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield.
A long-standing Premier League tradition sees opposing players honour the new champions by applauding them before each game.
And Keane, who was part of the Manchester United side that gave Chelsea a guard of honour in 2005, believes the gesture must be performed as a form of respect for the champions.
