Arsenal v Everton, Liverpool v Fulham and more: Premier League clockwatch – live

1 month ago 26

It will be an emotional day at the Emirates, as Arsenal and Everton meet for the first time since the passing of Kevin Campbell. The beloved striker played for Leyton Orient, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Trabzonspor, West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City, but he’s best remembered for his stints with the Gunners and the Toffees, for whom he scored 59 and 39 goals respectively. Campbell is celebrated on a poster outside the stadium …

… and on the front of today’s matchday programme. “Good to see KC being celebrated,” writes Jeremy Boyce. “A man who brought Sunshine to whichever Band he was playing with.” Kevin Campbell obituary.
