Moscow police warning for English fans
Manchester United and Liverpool fans have been warned that they will be severely punished if they cause trouble in Moscow this week.
The Premier League outfits are both playing away fixtures in the Champions League group stages in the Russia capital this week, with Liverpool taking on Spartak Moscow on Tuesday and Jose Mourinho's side facing CSKA the following day.
Security teams from both clubs have been working with the Russian authorities to help avoid any clashes between supporters of the bitter rivals.
Head of the Russian Football Union's security committee, Vladimir Markin, has spelt out the consequences for any English fans who step out of line.
"I don't want to scare anyone but I warn those who plan to come here not to support their side and see the country but to commit hooliganism: the law is the same for all, not just for Russians," he told Tass state news agency.
"Those who break it will face a suitable punishment, possibly in the form of a long stay in Russia, in conditions our guests won’t like."
With the Russian hosts under the microscope ahead of next year's World Cup, there will be a heavy police presence around the city.
Fans of both clubs have been told to avoid travelling around Moscow alone and have been forbidden from wearing club colours.
You can see both games live this week on the eir Sport pack. Liverpool's game against Spartak Moscow at the Otkrytie Arena on Tuesday, 26 September is live on eir Sport 2 [kick-off 7.45pm], while Manchester United meet CSKA Moscow at the Stadion CSKA Moskva live on BT Sport 3 on Wednesday, 27 September [kick-off also 7.45pm].
