Liverpool and Everton supporters heading to the football tonight are being reminded they won't get in without a vaccine pass or proof of a negative test.

The new rules, for people over 18, came into force yesterday after parliament approved the government's coronavirus Plan B measures.

At Anfield, ahead of the game against Newcastle, stewards will be carrying out random spot checks and face coverings are also mandatory indoors but not when seated in the stands, with Blues being warned to expect the same at Chelsea.
