Roy Keane WILL be involved in the top of the table clash between Liverpool and Manchester City after Sky Sports wrapped up their investigation into his fiery exchange with fans, according to a report.
During a pause in Sky’s live coverage of Ipswich Town’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United, the 53-year-old was caught on camera in a confrontation with some supporters. Ex-Ipswich manager Keane reportedly told a fan: “I’ll wait for you in the car park… Meet me in the car park.”
Top brass at Sky held discussions with the one-time Celtic midfielder and those who witnessed the incident, which included anchor Kelly Cates and pundits Jamie Redknapp and Izzy Christiansen, according to Daily Mail. With the probe now over, they report that Keane will be back in action for this Sunday’s massive clash at Anfield.
City, the current title holders, find themselves eight points adrift of Arne Slot’s men and without a win in six games, which could put a damper on their quest for another consecutive title victory. Keane will be accompanied by his fellow United icon Gary Neville, ex-Liverpool teammates Jamie Carragher and Daniel Sturridge, and former City defender Micah Richards.
Keane, who has been a key figure on ‘Super Sunday’ broadcasts since 2018, is obliged to feature in roughly 20 of the broadcasts annually.
Pep Guardiola will be desperate to land all three points and not only bring an end to his horror run of results but avoid falling a huge 11 points behind the table toppers at this early stage.
He said: “In the situation we have it’s not realistic to think about big targets. The situation is to think about one game and build the momentum to continue.”
