Liverpool supporters have been voted by rival fans as the noisiest in the Premier League, both at Anfield and away from home

Liverpool fans will have a constant police presence to protect them in Rome when they travel to the city for their side's Champions league semi-final second leg next week, according to Sky Italy.

The Italian home office, the Italian Olympic Committee, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Roma have been constantly in touch after the events in Liverpool on Tuesday night ahead of the first leg tie.

Merseyside Police have charged two Italian men following an incident outside Anfield in which a 53-year-old man was seriously injured. Sean Cox, a father of three from Ireland, remains in critical condition after the incident outside of the ground.

All four parties - who are jointly responsible for policing the match - will hold another meeting on Thursday afternoon.
