Pep Guardiola is reportedly happy for his Manchester City side to give Liverpool a guard of honour if needed when the two rivals meet next month.
If Jurgen Klopp's side can wrap up the Premier League title before the showdown on July 2, the Spanish boss is claimed to be willing to show the Reds the ultimate showing of respect.
This comes according to the Daily Star who suggest if Liverpool are champions by then that Guardiola's men will applaud them onto the pitch.
The Reds are on course for a first top flight title in 30 years, and depending on how City fare against Arsenal this Wednesday, the league leaders could be crowned champions with a win at Goodison Park on June 21 or potentially against Crystal Palace at Anfield in the following game.
Guards of honour are not mandatory but are markers of respect between opponents. In 2015, Liverpool applauded Chelsea onto the field after their title win.
Meanwhile, City have enjoyed their fare share of applause too having been runaway champions in 2018.
The meeting between the two outfits is set to take place at the Etihad next month but the venue is yet to be confirmed.
With Manchester City Council set to make a decision in the coming weeks, Liverpool supporters union, Spirit of Shankly, alongside Man City fans' 1894 Group have both urged for the match to be played at the Etihad.
