Manchester City and Liverpool have warned supporters of a zero-tolerance attitude towards 'unacceptable behaviour' at Thursday's game in an attempt to quell toxicity between the fan bases.
The rivals meet in the Carabao Cup fourth round, 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 and graffiti regarding the Hillsborough disaster and a claim of an attack on City's coach marred Liverpool's 1-0 Premier League victory.
Pep Guardiola claimed he was targeted by coins when City lost at Anfield in October.
