Kieran Richardson insists Chelsea should get ready to greet Manchester United like champions when the two meet next week.
When Chelsea won the title two years ago, United formed a guard of honour to greet The Blues on to the pitch at Old Trafford.
Richardson now hopes Chelsea return the honour at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday when the two meet - should United claim the Premiership crown this weekend.
"I remember when our team lined up for Chelsea two seasons ago after they had won the title," he explained to the Sun.
"It would be nice to go there having won the league and get the same gesture back."
If United win the Manchester derby on Saturday, then Chelsea would need to win at Arsenal on Sunday to deny United the title - and Richardson has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson knew just what his side needed to do to claim the top prize.
"At the start of the season the manager told us we would need to get 90 points to win the title because the standard has got so high. He looks like being spot-on," he said.
"But the Manchester City game will be tough. It was always going to be a huge game for us anyway. It's always one of the hardest fixtures of the season for us to go there.
"Now there is so much involved in that game in terms of the title. City are obviously going to be more up for it than normal because they know they can put a dent in our ambitions.
"So we're just going to have to stick together and play our own game."
Richardson is also looking forward to a long-term future at United. :bz30:
"The manager has always told me I'm part of his plans," he added.
"When someone like the gaffer tells you that, you really feel good and want to be part of it all.
"I'd like to think I am part of United's future. No player wants to leave here. No player wants to leave the biggest club in the world."
