Senior figures at Liverpool and Manchester City have held a meeting aimed at improving fan relations ahead of next week's Carabao Cup meeting.
The Reds return to action after the World Cup when they continue their defence of the League Cup at the Etihad on December 22, but despite the prospect of a first match since mid-November, the fixture has the potential to be marred by off-the-field events.
It will be the first clash between the pair since October's 1-0 win for Liverpool at Anfield when the football itself was eclipsed by a handful of ugly incidents that included offensive graffiti about Hillsborough and Heysel being scrawled on to the concourses in the away end of Anfield Road.
