West Ham and Chelsea players take the knee at the London Stadium in support of the Premier League's No Room For Racism campaign... with the move set to be replicated across the top flight over the next two weekends

Players at West Ham's clash with Chelsea on Saturday afternoon took the knee ahead of kick-off to mark the return of Premier League's No Room For Racism weekend.

The London Stadium saw players take the knee before the derby meeting in a symbol of unity against racism in all its forms, and the move is expected to be replicated throughout the next two weekends of fixtures.

Previously, the majority of games had seen players kneel ahead of kick-off, but now only select gameweeks involve the statement.

The opening game of the season was marked with players taking the knee, as well as a round of fixtures in October, and the games immediately after the World Cup.
