Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his team will hold a guard of honour for Manchester United's players before Sunday's match at Emirates Stadium.
The match is the first United have played since sealing their 20th league title with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Monday.
Wenger said: "I want the traditions of English football to be respected."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson added: "I am glad Arsene has done that. That is what great clubs should do."
Ferguson said: "When they came to Old Trafford in 2002 and Sylvain Wiltord scored the only goal, we did exactly the same."
In addition to 2002, United gave Arsenal a guard of honour at Highbury in 1991, and honoured champions Chelsea at Old Trafford in 2005. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea returned the gesture two years later.
The match sees the return of former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, who scored a hat-trick against Villa.
Van Persie, 29, scored the opener the last time the two sides met in United's 2-1 victory in November.
There's talk of Arsenal fans doing Poznan celebration during the guard of honour, this easily would've been the most pathetic thing I've ever witnessed in football
