Russian hooligans have warned England fans that they are "100 percent guaranteed'' to be targeted at the 2018 World Cup.
There were scenes of violence at Euro 2016 as supporters of the two countries clashed, with two England fans left in a critical condition after three days of violence in Marseille while a group of Russian fans charged at England supporters inside the Stade Velodrome.
Speaking to a BBC documentary, Russia's Hooligan Army, a hooligan known as "Vasily the Killer" was quoted in the Guardian alleging that last year's violence was sanctioned by the Kremlin.
