Several tributes, including a moment of silence before kick-off, are planned in the wake of recent attacks in Manchester and London.

The match will serve as a parallel to France's visit to Wembley Stadium in November 2015, when English supporters provided a rousing rendition of the French anthem 'Le Marseillaise' in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris.
