Maurizio Sarri has urged Chelsea supporters to respect Liverpool's tributes to the Hillsborough victims this weekend.

Liverpool host Chelsea in Sunday's Premier League action at Anfield, the day before the 30th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

A minute's silence will be held before kick-off in memory of the 96 people who died at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.
