A minute of applause will take place before kick-off to celebrate the lives of the 96 and, in time-honoured tradition, fans at the Kop end will reveal a commemorative mosaic.

Players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and tributes will be displayed on LED boards surrounding the pitch. There will also be a commemorative edition of the matchday programme.

This week, young players from the Academy will take part in a two-day Hillsborough Memorial Tournament alongside youth players from Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forrest.

The players, aged from 9-14, will compete in 9v9 and 6v6 games at the club's Academy site in Kirkby.
