Who presents the trophy?

This season, the Premier League trophy will be handed over by Leicester City fan Steve Worthy. Worthy earned the honour by winning the Barclays "I Am One" competition for the right to present the trophy to the new champions by citing his 97-year-old grandmother Gladys Kenney as the embodiment of the "spirit of the game". Mrs Kenney was, until two years ago, the club's oldest season ticket holder, and she'll be there on Saturday for the presentation.

Will Leicester receive a pre-game guard of honour?

The new champions will receive a guard of honour from Everton.

The tradition is not compulsory but at the discretion of the champions' opponents. However, Everton boss Roberto Martinez said this week: "We will congratulate them and, from that point on, we will focus on trying to be a team that can perform against them."
