Manchester City face a vital fixture at home to Arsenal on Sunday in their hopes of earning a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Man City bus changes route to avoid Liverpool FC fans at Anfield
10.03.2024 - 15:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City players arrived at Anfield on one side of the stadium while Liverpool fans waited for them on the opposite side after a route change.
City's bus was attacked coming into the ground for a 2018 Champions League quarter-final to leave Pep Guardiola and his bosses irate, while there was also damage claimed as the team left the ground last season. Given the history, Merseyside Police announced the planned route days ahead of the game along with measures put in place to avoid any trouble or collect evidence of any wrongdoing.
However, City avoided any potential trouble by taking a different route after advice from Merseyside Police. They followed the Liverpool coach in by entering the ground via the North Stand at Anfield, away from the crowds waiting for them on the other side of the stadium.

City will kick off at Anfield a point behind Liverpool, with the match potentially pivotal in deciding the winners of the Premier League this season. Losing would mean they were more than a win away, while victory for the visitors would see them leapfrog the Merseyside club.
There is also Arsenal to consider, who kick off the day in first place after a late win over Brentford at the Emirates on Saturday. Arsenal visit the Etihad at the end of the month in City's next league fixture. The Blues take on Newcastle in the FA Cup quarter-final next week before the March international break.
