A mural was created with the help of fans from both teams.

Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was six years old when he died.

The club said that the Arthur's Area will be a fun-filled space for young supporters to enjoy prior to kick-off.

A giant flag and memorial bricks will be placed outside St Andrew's stadium to remember a young Blues fan.

Arthur was killed by his stepmother and father in June 2020.

Thomas Hughes was sentenced to 21 years for manslaughter and Emma Tustin was sentenced to 29 years for murder.

Blues fans are going to march to St Andrew's ahead of the game and are going to lay a wreath before kick off.

The case had touched everyone's hearts and Tony Routledge hoped about 1,000 fans would take part.

He said that the club is going to be sad, but that they wanted to make people see they cared.

The Fridays Family Zone was renamed Arthur's Area after seeing photos of a smiling Arthur in a Blues shirt.

It said the photo shows a smiling, happy boy wearing a Blues shirt and that the Club will strive to keep that memory alive.

Disney, a local stencil artist, was contacted by the club to decorate the newly renamed area, which will contain information points from local children's charities to help tackle child abuse.

A memorial garden is one of the plans to permanently remember Arthur.

Arthur will be on the front cover of the match programme for the game in Wales, with all proceeds going to children's charities.

The way everyone has come together in the face of such tragedy and heartbreak says a lot about our city and region.
