Man City bus changes route to avoid Liverpool FC fans at Anfield
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester City players arrived at Anfield on one side of the stadium while Liverpool fans waited for them on the opposite side after a route change.
City's bus was attacked coming into the ground for a 2018 Champions League quarter-final to leave Pep Guardiola and his bosses irate, while there was also damage claimed as the team left the ground last season.
