A minute’s silence to remember those who have lost their lives during this pandemic. A dreadful, dreadful loss.

The players also have a blue logo on the front of their shirts to represent their appreciation for the NHS.

Michael Oliver will get us underway here. A strange moment for the officials as well as the players.

The Premier League is nearly back. It’s been a long road to here since the last match at the King Power Stadium on March.

But we’re almost ready.

The most pointless sign so far?

Meanwhile for the visitors, they are just five points off Chelsea in fourth place as they look to clinch what would be a truly unbelievable Champions League place.
