The Premier League have confirmed that the French national anthem will be played ahead of all of this weekend's matches. 

Premier League Chief Exec Richard Scudamore said: "Given how close we are as well as the long-standing relationship that exists between the Premier League and France, playing La Marseillaise as an act of solidarity and remembrance is the right thing to do.

There are currently 72 French players currently in the Premier League, making France the second-most represented nation after England.

Clubs are also advising fans to arrive earlier than usual at matches, as there will be increased safety checks at grounds.

Manchester City and Arsenal, the current top two, plus champions Chelsea among their opponents in December.

"We have to get something from these games because December is a tough month," Borini told BBC Newcastle.

"Not just because it is Christmas, because in England you don't stop so you play every three days, it's tiring for the players but also the quality of the opponents."

Australia captain Stephen Moore has shared his thoughts on prospective England head coach Eddie Jones.

Jones, who has held talks with RFU boss Ian Ritchie, handed Moore his debut when in charge of Australia in 2005.

"He's very thorough," said Moore. "You get a lot of attention to detail with Eddie. 

"He would certainly be looking at many different sports and many different teams and what they are doing, and make sure that whatever team he is in charge of is right at the forefront of whatever teams are doing around the world in every area.

"So he's a very professional coach, and he knows what is important to win and how to prepare teams to win."

Hughes concludes by praising opposition boss Ronald Koeman and reveals Erik Pieters is available despite breaking his nose in two places last time out against Chelsea.

Leicester are third in the Premier League on 25 points but Claudio Ranieri is still targeting the magic 40 point mark.

"We are fighting for another 15 points. Every match is a trap. Newcastle are a good team with good fans who push their players, but we are ready."

And the secret formula for the Foxes' success...

“Italian tactics and English spirit. I want to work hard to improve both with Leicester."

Hughes discusses striker Peter Crouch's plea for more game time before turning his attentions to Saturday's game against an in-form Southampton.

Claudio Ranieri says all his players bar Jamaican defender Wes Morgan have returned from international duty.

"All our other international players are fit. I’m just waiting for the captain (Wes Morgan), he should be landing now."

Stoke manager Mark Hughes starts by addressing football's reaction to the attacks in Paris and striker Jon Walters' heroics in sending the Republic of Ireland through to Euro 2016.

Claudio Ranieri has been talking about England striker Jamie Vardy, who will equal Ruud van Nistelrooy's Premier League record of scoring in 10 straight games if he scores at Newcastle on Saturday.

Vardy missed England's friendlies against Spain and France with injury.

"Vardy rained today a little, I hope he can continue to train. If he's fit he plays. I hope he's available."

"I speak to the doctor, if he's 100% he plays. I don't want to risk a player for a match then lose him for a month."

“I’m not thinking about [who takes] penalties or records, I’m thinking about Newcastle, It will be a tough match. Not easy."

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri references the Paris attacks at his news conference.

“We must continue to play football because sport brings people together. Always we are united. We are very confident in our staff, Premier League staff."

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman on his side's versatility: "We have different ways to attack. With Graziano Pelle we can play the long ball. We have offensive full-backs and we are strong in our set-pieces."

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is speaking to the media.

He says he was surprised to see striker Shane Long play a part in the Republic of Ireland's Euro play-off win this week, after a lay-off with an ankle injury.

"I was very surprised he played 40 minutes. OK if the player is fit, but he had not trained for five or six weeks."

Our coverage of the ATP World Tour Finals continues with Roger Federer against Kei Nishikori.

The Swiss has already qualified for the semi-finals after his victory over Novak Djokovic, while Nishikori must win here and hope Tomas Berdych downs Djokovic this evening.
