'You'll never eat alone': Football and fava on Egypt menu

Egyptian football fans readied to cheer on national hero Mohamed Salah in Sunday's Champions League clash and tuck into food from a cart whose owner vows they'll "never eat alone".

A tribute to the Reds, the "Liverfuul" cart serves up hot dishes of "fuul" (fava beans) in Ain Shams, a working-class suburb of Cairo.

Mohamed Ahmed, 31, a DJ turned street food entrepreneur, came up with the idea with friend Mohamed al-Sayed before the start of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of daytime fasting due to end next week.

The cart, which only operates between 11 pm and 3 am, is emblazoned with Sayed's red and green design - after the Liverpool football club logo.

Liverpool's legendary anthem has been amended on the cart to read: "You'll never eat alone."
"As Egyptians we like to get together, especially during Ramadan, and have a communal meal. So the tagline came naturally and Sayed designed it perfectly."
