Millwall take on Dagenham and Redbridge in the FA Cup on Monday and there are growing concerns that a number of West Ham fans have snapped up tickets for the away end at the Den. The Hammers have not faced their old foes since 2012 and there have been, perhaps surprisingly, no restrictions on who can buy tickets.

Last week, more than 1,300 had been sold by Dagenham and Redbridge, the National League side with close links to West Ham, and Met Police — who deemed the match low risk — are aware of the situation. Meanwhile, it is thought large numbers of Manchester United fans cheered on the Class of 92’s Salford City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors usually have crowds of 2,800, but large sections of 5,000-strong support sang a range of United songs. There were no reports of major trouble. West Ham fans are thought to have purchased tickets in the away end as their fierce rivals Millwall play host to Dagenham and Redbridge.

Man United supporters turned out to watch Salford City's clash with Man City on Saturday. Premier League clubs will meet on Friday to fine tune changes that broadcasters hope will revolutionise TV coverage. The new arrivals include body cams on players during warm-ups and walk outs, filming from inside dressing rooms and half-time interviews with either a player, manager or coach as they leave the pitch, or a coach as they return for a second half.

The measures also feature interviews with players after they have been substituted. Clubs will iron out detail around the wording surrounding the additions, which will take place in a set number of games, and will discuss issues matters such as who decides which player is chosen.
