There will be visible police presence when Liverpool and Manchester United visit Moscow for their Champions League game

Liverpool and Manchester United fans have been told there will be a “visible police presence” in Moscow next week.

The Premier League clubs both have Champions League group matches in the Russian capital.

A combined total of 2,000 fans will make the 3,200-mile round trip from the north-west with Liverpool playing Spartak Moscow on Tuesday and United taking on CSKA Moscow a day later.

Liverpool say the Russian authorities are aware the two clubs are in Moscow at the same time so a visible police presence can be expected “wherever groups of Liverpool and Manchester United fans congregate, including at your accommodation”.

Liverpool opened their campaign with a draw against Sevilla at Anfield on 13 September, whilst United defeated FC Basel at Old Trafford.

Russian hooligans attacked England fans in Marseille at the 2016 European Championship.
