🚨 A 32-year-old Everton fan has been issued with a three-year Football Banning Order for shouting racist abuse during a match against Leicester City at Goodison Park. Matthew Gillespie was handed the ban after it was reported that he was directing slurs towards a Foxes fan during a game in November last year.

✡️ Liverpool will mark international Holocaust Memorial Day this year with a Service of Remembrance at Liverpool Town Hall. The service for invited guests will be held on Friday, 27 January. The theme of this year's Holocaust Memorial Day is "Ordinary People".
