Liverpool and Man City fans must show 'respect' towards each other, insists Reds assistant Pep Lijnders ahead of Carabao Cup clash - after October Anfield clash was overshadowed by coin-throwing, bus attacks and Hillsborough graffiti

Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders welcomed the news the Reds and Manchester City sent a joint letter to supporters warning them about their behaviour - and urged fans to show respect towards each other.

The rivals meet in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Thursday, two months after a tempestuous affair at Anfield that saw tensions further escalate and relations hit an all-time low.

Allegations of coin throwing at Pep Guardiola, offensive chanting, graffiti regarding the Hillsborough disaster and a claim of an attack on City’s coach marred Liverpool’s 1-0 Premier League victory.
