Manchester City are expected to receive a hostile welcome at Anfield when they travel to face Liverpool on Sunday, in their first match since being found guilty of breaching Premier League rules.
Supporters are expected to organise bus welcomes outside the stadium, while banners and flags are also likely to feature around the ground. The reception will place the Premier League ruling at the centre of attention before the match begins.
The fixture at Anfield is therefore set to carry significance beyond the contest on the pitch. It will be Manchester City’s first game since the finding against the club, with the anticipated response from Liverpool supporters reflecting the heightened focus surrounding the case.
No further details about the ruling, any punishment or the planned demonstrations are provided in the available material. The latest expectation is that City will encounter a strongly critical atmosphere when they arrive at Anfield on Sunday.
