Merseyside derby among fixtures deemed ‘high risk’ Local
police happy for title to be won at Anfield
Liverpool and Everton will next week oppose plans to make them play at neutral venues when the
Premier League restarts, with Merseyside Police having no objections to any matches at Anfield or Goodison Park “in relation to crime and disorder”.
Jürgen Klopp’s runaway leaders will be denied any opportunity to win the club’s first league title in 30 years at Anfield under plans outlined by Mark Roberts, the national lead for
Football policing and deputy chief constable of South Yorkshire Police.
