- Leicester City's Annual Remembrance Fixture to be held against Manchester City
- Both managers will lay poppy wreaths in their dugouts with a one-minute silence held upon the sounding of The Last Post
- The Club will also be supporting Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign
- Foxes Pride were named LCFC’s Premier League Community Captain earlier this season
Supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, the Football Club will commemorate the sacrifices of servicemen and women in conflicts past and present.
Ahead of the game, Brendan Rodgers and Pep Guardiola will lay poppy wreaths in front of their respective dugouts, with a one-minute silence held upon the sounding of The Last Post.
A large poppy tifo will be displayed inside King Power Stadium, while both sets of players will wear embroidered poppies on their match shirts. Volunteers from RBL will also be bucket collecting and a military band will be on the brickweave prior to kick-off. Supporters can also donate by clicking HERE.
Meanwhile, Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign will be supported at the game, as the Premier League and its 20 clubs demonstrate their ongoing backing for LGBTQ+ inclusion.
All top-flight fixtures between 22 and 30 October are dedicated to the initiative, with campaign support visible throughout King Power Stadium to show that football is everyone’s game. These include rainbow themed captain’s armbands and laces, while ball plinths, handshake boards and LED perimeter boards will also highlight important messages.
Members of the Club’s LGBTQ+ supporter group, Foxes Pride, will be in attendance at the game and will have their photo with the players ahead of kick-off.
Earlier this season, the group were named Leicester City’s Premier League Community Captain for their work in helping to combat homophobia in football and creating a safer and more inclusive environment for fans.
Brendan Rodgers and Jonny Evans presented three members of the group with their Community Captain armbands at a celebration event at LCFC Training Ground.
The presentation was part of the Premier League 30 Year Trophy Tour, where clubs award Community Captain accolades to members of the public, who have made an outstanding contribution to their club and local community.
