Arsenal show solidarity with Leicester

A minute's silence was observed before kick-off at stadiums across England as clubs and fans remembered Srivaddhanaprabha and the other victims who lost their lives in the accident. At the Emirates, both Arsenal and visitors Liverpool wore the traditional black armbands as a mark of respect for this evening's top billing clash. As a extra gesture as a show of solidarity to Leicester, the Gunners had a small blue and white fox, the Leicester City mascot, embroidered onto their armbands.
