Football fans from Manchester Utd, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Everton are set to join forces together this weekend and put aside the rivalries to protest against the rising match ticket prices that are driving fans from watching their beloved sports live in the stadium.

The protest is believed to be carried out outside of both Old Trafford and Anfield on Sunday, with supporters across some of England's greatest clubs coming out against exploitation, and according to a report from BBC News, supporters plan to hold a 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty' banner before the games.
Manchester United fans have accused the Old Trafford management of exploiting fans after taking the midseason decision to raise matchday ticket prices to £66 per game, with no concessions for children or pensioners.

The increase in ticket prices came in the same week that the Premier League’s new broadcast rights deal rose by 17 percent to a ‘staggering £12.25bn.’
The first protest is believed to come at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Manchester United hosting Everton at 13:30 GMT and then followed by Anfield when Liverpool host Manchester City in clash for the title race at 16:00 GMT for the closing fixture of the round 13 games.
