The Football Writers' Association has called for Liverpool and Everton to reconsider bans imposed on reporters from The Sun and to work with them alongside the Premier League to seek a resolution.
In February, Liverpool banned Sun journalists from both the training ground and Anfield over the newspaper's coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
Earlier this month, Everton issued a strongly-worded statement confirming The Sun would be banned from 'all areas of the club's operation' following a controversial column by Kelvin MacKenzie directed at midfielder Ross Barkley and the people of Liverpool.
The Sun suspended MacKenzie and apologised 'for the offence caused'.
