Liverpool fans intend on raising thousands of yellow cards during the 13th minute of Saturday's Anfield fixture with Crystal Palace in a further protest against planned ticket-price increases.

The move has been orchestrated by supporters' union Spirit of Shankly.

Yellow cards are set to be distributed outside the stadium before the fixture.

Fans have already protested prior and during the recent win over Fulham, with the typical array of flags and banners on The Kop no longer visible until the end of the season.

In addition, Spirit of Shankly have written to Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan in response to his clarifying of the reasoning behind plans to raise ticket prices across each of the next three seasons.

"We understand the importance of running the club sustainably, but don't believe this should be at the expense of supporters," the letter reads.

"We acknowledge an 85% increase in matchday operation costs, over the past decade, but these come in part due to the expansion of the stadium. Matchday revenue is also up by 85%, so the costs are surely covered? The club's total revenues have also grown by 133% to £703m.

"As supporter representatives we face a unique challenge – wanting the very best for our club in the short, medium and long term. Decisions made by the current custodians will impact supporters, some of whom are not yet born, for generations to come. We want to be able to say: we did all we could to ensure the support and traditions continue to be passed on."
