Rodgers predicts peaceful occasion as emotions run high

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers expects this weekend’s emotional clash with Manchester United to be remembered for the right reasons on and off the field.

The Barclays Premier League encounter at Anfield on Sunday will be Liverpool’s first home match since the publication of a damning new report into the Hillsborough disaster.

A number of tributes are being planned prior to the game to commemorate the 1989 tragedy, remember the 96 victims and acknowledge the fight of their families to find the truth over its cause.
