Arsenal, Everton 'to pay tribute to Hillsborough, Boston Marathon victims'

Arsenal and Everton players will reportedly pay respect to the victims of the Boston Marathon explosions as well as the 96 lives that were lost in the Hillsborough disaster by wearing black armbands.

Yesterday the famous Boston Marathon was rocked by two blasts that went off near the finish line of the race, leaving at least three people dead and over 100 injured.

Along with paying respect to those affected in the US, Arsenal and Everton will hold a minute's silence at the Emirates Stadium for the Hillsborough victims a day after the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, according to the Daily Mail.

The Premier League clash will get underway at 7.45pm this evening.
