Liverpool have urged supporters not to bring pyrotechnics to Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool were charged by UEFA with acts of damage, crowd disturbances, the throwing of objects and the setting off of fireworks during their 3-0 win at Anfield in Wednesday's first leg.

In a statement on the club's website, Liverpool suggest further incidents could lead to sanctions, reduced ticket allocations and possibly the abandonment of the match.

The club said: "Liverpool FC would like to remind supporters that flares, smoke bombs and pyrotechnics are illegal and prohibited.

"Any individual who is found taking these items into the stadium are liable to arrest.

"The use of such devices breaches ground safety regulation and poses serious risk of injury to fellow fans and serious health risks.

"Amnesty bins will be located outside the visiting section of the Etihad on Tuesday."
