After Chelsea's failure to beat Arsenal on Sunday, United will arrive at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night as champions and - after the Blues were shown similar respect when they won the title - Terry is ready to return the compliment.

He declared: "The manager has said already they will get the guard of honour which they did to us at Old Trafford. Looking at some faces, it could not have been nice. We have to go through that and we fully respect them as players and individuals. We will do that holding our heads up high."

Chelsea, who were last top of the Barclays Premiership in October last year, ran out of steam as they chased success on four fronts.

Having won the Carling Cup in February, Chelsea were hoping to land an unprecedented quadruple but a defeat in the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool last week put paid to that dream.

Their hopes of winning a third successive title were then wrecked by Arsenal even though Chelsea's heroic efforts deserved more.

Terry added: "It is obviously very disappointing, when you look at the season as a whole.

"We were played really well at Arsenal, especially with 10 men and were unlucky not to have been able to push Manchester United right to the wire in the end. But it was not to be.

"They are champions, and congratulations to them for that. They have been very good this year.

"The games we thought we would win and the ones we thought Man Utd would win, did not go that way. There was a little bit of a twist at the end but unfortunately we are not there."
