Patrick Vieira believes it is critical for players to keep taking the knee after those in the Premier League decided to limit when they take anti-racism stance this season.

Friday night’s Premier League opener between Vieira’s Palace side and Arsenal is one of the matches that will still feature the gesture, with other instances set to happen during the FA and Carabao Cup finals and specific No Room for Racism contests.
