Police are on heightened alert as English Championship rivals prepare for two potentially volatile fixtures this weekend: Millwall play West Ham and Wolves take on West Brom.
Both matchups are framed by recent and longer-running incidents involving crowd trouble and hostility between supporters. Yahoo Sports and Free Malaysia Today both note that social media is carrying threats ahead of the games, reflecting the long history of confrontations around these clubs.
For Wolves versus West Brom, the outlets point to a recent meeting in the FA Cup in 2024 that is described as being scarred by crowd disorder. They also note that the league meeting between the sides is rare, with the current game set to be their first league encounter in about five years. For Millwall and West Ham, the focus is on the expectation of renewed feuding linked to past violence between the supporter groups.
