Premier League teams will again be taking the knee in a gesture of anti-racism at significant moments during the upcoming season.
Players will take the knee this Friday at the opening game of the campaign between Burnley and Manchester City and all other first-round fixtures.
And they will do the same in the final match round, as well as dedicated No Room For Racism fixtures in October and April, and Boxing Day.
The Premier League captains said: ‘We are unified in our belief that any form of discrimination has no place within football, or wider society, and are committed to using our platform to help celebrate diversity and show our support in the fight against racism.
‘Therefore, we will continue to show solidarity by taking the knee at significant moments during the forthcoming season. Diversity is central to the success of the game and we feel strongly that people should respect others, regardless of their ethnicity or background.’
