Liverpool FC tell supermarkets they can use Anfield stewards for free to help out with 'crowd control' across Merseyside as panic-buyers flock to the shops due to coronavirus

Liverpool have offered the availability of their matchday stewards to local supermarkets to help them manage large crowds during the coronavirus crisis.
