As a pilot "expect a late landing clearance" triggers several things in me
And inclusion of the words "landing clearance" might well trigger something entirely incorrect in the mind of some pilots.

I will PREPARE FOR A GO-AROUND
= you do not really trust (quite rightly) that there will be a landing clearance forthcoming.

- situational awareness. It tells me that for some reason - known or unknown - i will not get my landing clearance right away. Most of the time it is a developing situation. Traffic in front missed the first exit and trundles along on the runway.
Surely "continue approach" (= you cannot yet have the runway) plus e.g. "737 to vacate" is far more pertinent for situational awareness?
