Liverpool FC fans are protesting season ticket price rises when Atalanta visit in Europa League tonight, following in Manchester City supporters' footsteps
Manchester City and Liverpool remain fierce rivals on the pitch as they go head-to-head for another Premier League title. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp head up that iconic rivalry of recent seasons, while there has been a number of unsavoury incidents between the fanbases in the last few years that have soured an elite rivalry between two world-class teams.

They said: "Unlike the club's own approach, this has been decided in consultation with other fan groups.
"The flags aren't there but the people are there. But I understand the concerns, and the discussions," he said, carefully treading the line between keeping his supporters and employers both onside.
