Once again, the Premier League and with it some of the world's most important teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, will support the #RainbowLaces campaign.

Initiated by the Stonewall Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights charity, the campaign aims to promote the acceptance of the LGBT community - the reaction by some supporters online has showed that this is still very much needed.

We’re proud to support @stonewalluk's #RainbowLaces campaign.

This match day, all teams will use rainbow-colored captain armbands, as did West Ham and Leicester City last night, while rainbow laces will be spotted here and there as well.
