Chelsea are already planning a Premier League victory parade through the streets of West London in May, according to a letter from Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

Jose Mourinho's side face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday knowing that victory would mean they go into Wednesday's clash with Leicester City needing one more win to secure the title.

The Blues are currently nine points clear at the summit of the table with six games of the current campaign remaining.

In the letter, delivered to residents in the area surrounding Stamford Bridge, the schedule for the planned celebrations are laid out in detail.

Reportedly written by Bi-borough Executive Director Nigel Pallace, it reads: "I am writing to give you early notice of a Victory Parade that will take place in Fulham if Chelsea Football Club wins the Premier League.

"If Chelsea win, a Victory Parade will take place on Monday, May 25. This would be wholly funded by the football club, as would the clean-up operation. The parade would start around 12pm and should finish around 1pm.

"The team's buses would depart from Stamford Bridge's west entrance before travelling east along Fulham Road and turning right onto Hortensia Road, and then right onto King's Road.

"There would be short stop at Eel Brook Common, where the procession would end. The buses would then leave the parade route via Parsons Green.

"As I say, the Victory Parade will only take place if Chelsea win the Premier League, but I wanted to give you this advance warning so you can plan ahead should they win the title."
