Spartak Moscow have warned their fans to refrain from violent behaviour when they travel to support their club in a crucial Champions League encounter against Liverpool on Wednesday.

The Russian champions are hoping to avoid further UEFA sanctions after being punished by the European governing body for the behaviour of their fans earlier in the campaign.

'Do not give in to provocations and don't get involved in conflicts with locals, soccer fans and the country's law enforcement,' Spartak said in a statement on Monday.
