Liverpool and Everton to unite to raise funds for victims of Turkey-Syria earthquake

Liverpool and Everton will use Monday's Merseyside derby to raise funds for those affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

Players' match-worn shirts will be signed after the Anfield fixture and later auctioned off to support the Disasters Emergency Committee - where funds will be distributed to support those impacted by the disaster, where more than 22,000 have already lost their lives as a result.

Money raised for the DEC will help provide those in the region with much-needed accommodation, medical care and essential food and water to survive the uncertain times. The Premier League has also announced all players and officials across the division will wear black armbands as a mark of respect this weekend.
