Rhian Brewster's birthday surprise, double-digit kit numbers and a hit new single were just some of the pranks football clubs played on April Fool's Day.

Liverpool were among the clubs looking to hoodwink unsuspecting fans or players before midday.

Andrew Robertson and Joe Gomez acted as the 'accomplices' when Rhian Brewster encountered some difficulties with an annoying security guard on his 19th birthday.

Everton's Jordan Pickford teamed up with Angry Birds to play pranks on Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne which featured blindfold challenges and self-portrait drawings.

Bristol City announced on Twitter on Monday morning that their new 2019/20 away shirt will be blue - clashing with their cross-city rivals Bristol Rovers.

Watford joined in with the kit announcements, reporting that they would be adopting a 'striking lattice design' on their home shirt for next season.
