The Dutch coach confirmed that Leicester will be welcomed to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, May 15, in accordance with the protocol for Premier League champions.

* The Chelsea - Leicester match takes place at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 15.

In the final round of the season, Chelsea hosted Leicester City - the team that won the championship two rounds early.

Guus Hiddink said at a press conference on May 13: "Of course, Chelsea will form a guard of honor to congratulate them, to honor what they have shown this season."

A year after winning the title and being greeted by Liverpool, it was Chelsea's turn to do the same ritual when welcoming their successors as the new kings of English football - Leicester.

“They were initially a surprise when they were top of the league. But at the end of the season, especially in the last two months, people had to write that they were really aiming for the championship,” he added.

The Dutch coach then highly appreciated the ability of the new Premier League champions to cope with the pressure: "Normally a team like them can be under pressure in the final stages and weaken, but Leicester responded very well, it was amazing. They knew how to enjoy the advantage of leading the race, and controlled the situation well. This season was a good performance for them."
