Gangs of football hooligans are planning to 'team up' and 'protect' the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine protestors this weekend, with police on high-alert for trouble.
Officers fear more than a thousand, including far-Right thugs, will descent on London, where a rally against Israeli attacks on Gaza is set to take place.
Mail Sport understands that the Met Police have received intelligence to suggest that football fans from clubs across the country are likely to join forces in the capital. They have drafted in officers from forces around the UK amid concerns that the influx of hooligans will add fuel to a tinderbox situation at a time of heightened tensions.
