Liverpool and Manchester United will play in Moscow on successive nights next month after English football's greatest rivals were paired to face Spartak and CSKA respectively in the group stages of the Champions League.
United will play against CSKA on Sept. 27, just 24 hours after Liverpool take on Russian champions Spartak in the Spartak Arena.
Rival fans of the Russian clubs will also be traveling through Manchester Airport at about the same time for their games in England on Dec. 5-6.
Liverpool and United, who have won the European Cup and Champions League eight times between them, met in the Europa League during the 2015-16 campaign -- a tie won by Liverpool which was marred by disturbances between rival supporters before and after the two legs.
