Officers in Merseyside say they have been working closely with the Ukranian police, Spanish police, Liverpool Football Club and supporter groups ahead of Saturday night’s match.

They're asking people to stay sensible at John Lennon Airport to make sure everyone gets their flights on time.

Chief Superintendent Dave Charnock said: "While we understand and appreciate that many Liverpool fans will want to travel to Kiev, I would continue to encourage fans who do not have tickets to not travel. There is no designated screen area in Kiev where the match is being shown. We would also advise people against trying to buy tickets from touts outside the stadium."
