Man City avoids Liverpool fans en route to Anfield

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 17:18 · Archive

Manchester City's team bus took an alternative route to avoid Liverpool fans ahead of their Premier League clash at Anfield.

Manchester City took an alternative route to Anfield on Sunday to avoid a hostile reception from Liverpool fans, who have previously targeted the team bus. The unusual security measure came after an independent panel found City guilty of a raft of financial breaches, artificially inflating its revenue by more than $1 billion to help sign major players during its period of Premier League dominance.

City has appealed the findings. Potential punishment could include a massive fine, points deductions or even expulsion from the league. Liverpool fan Sav Agathangelo told reporters: 'They should be stripped of everything they've won.'

Despite avoiding the crowds outside the stadium, City's lineup was loudly jeered by home supporters inside Anfield, with chants of 'going down' growing louder by kickoff. City arrived at the ground looking to extend its lead at the top of the standings to three points above second-place Arsenal.
