Football Police assess fixtures in England for risk of violence

Existing assessments of fixtures are being looked at again in the light of the recent events, and individual forces are working closely with league officials and the Football Policing Unit (UKFPU).

The preparations come as Keir Starmer said potential unrest caused by the start of the football season was "added into the mix" of the police's and government's plans for handling future disorder.

Each of this weekend's fixtures will be assessed to see whether more officers are needed inside or outside grounds, when fans mill around before the game, or as they go home.
