Minute of silence to remember Diogo Jota & Andre Silva against Everton | OneFootball

All Premier League clubs will pay their respects to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva across the opening weekend of the season, with a minute of silence held at every ground before kick-off.

Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were tragically killed in a car accident on July 3rd and the thoughts of everyone at Leeds United very much remain with their families, friends and all connected with Liverpool FC.

Once Leeds United and Everton take to the field on Monday evening, the minute of silence will begin and end on the referee’s whistle, with both sides lined up around the centre-circle.

As a result of the above and in order to be as respectful as possible, the traditional minute of applause held on the first league game of the season to remember all Leeds United fans who have sadly lost their lives over the past 12 months, will now take place on Saturday 30th August in our fixture with Newcastle United.

Leeds United supporters can now add the names of loved ones, family and friends of those lost, via the form below, which will be displayed on the big screen ahead of our fixture with Newcastle. Fans have until 5pm on Monday 25th August to submit any names they would like to be displayed.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
