Manchester United could be given more than 6,000 tickets for their FA Cup fourth-round tie with Liverpool at Anfield later this month.

United had received a reduced allocation for October's league fixture because of fans blocking gangways, but Liverpool City Council has stated that the ban has been lifted.

"We have taken into account the improvement of the Manchester United supporters at the most recent Premier League fixture relating to the blocking of gangways and aisles," said Stephen Clare, Liverpool City Council's principal licensing officer.

The fourth-round tie will take place on the weekend of January 28.
