The Premier League announces plans to show support to Ukraine amid Russia's invasion... with captains set to wear blue and yellow armbands and players and fans to 'take a moment of reflection' before each match this weekend

The Premier League has announced a show of support for the people of Ukraine at all matches this weekend.

Captains of all clubs will wear special armbands in Ukrainian colours with fans encouraged to join players, managers, match officials and club staff in a moment of reflection and solidarity before kick-off.

The large screens at grounds will display 'Football Stands Together' against a blue and yellow backdrop, matching the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

The words will also be shown on LED perimeter boards during games, which start with Leicester against Leeds at 1230pm on Saturday through to Monday night's fixture between Tottenham and Everton.
