Liverpool v Roma: Merseyside Police vow to crack down on fan trouble ahead of Champions League semi-final

Merseyside Police have plans in place to restrict fan disturbances around Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Roma, following the ugly scenes which marred Manchester City arrival at Anfield in the previous round.

City's coach was badly damaged by objects thrown by supporters in the street when the sides met earlier this month - actions which led to a UEFA charge and strong condemnation from Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.
