Everton and Liverpool to pay respect to Pele as Premier League confirm tribute plans

Players and staff across the Premier League will pay their respects to the legendary Pele in the coming days.

Gameweek 18 of the season, which spans from Friday, December 30 to Sunday, January 1, will see all fixtures hold a pre-match minute's applause for Pele, the Brazilian football great who died on Thursday (December 29) at the age of 82.

Players, staff and officials will also wear black armbands in a mark of respect for the three-time World Cup winner, who passed away in Brazil after a string of health complications, which culminated in a cancer diagnosis in September 2021.
