Police are reassuring football fans over travel concerns ahead of the East Anglian football derby.

Norwich City host Championship leaders and local rivals Ipswich Town in a 12:30 BST kick-off at Carrow Road on Saturday.

Norfolk Police is expecting about 2,020 Ipswich fans to travel to the city.

The match coincides with industrial action on the trains, but the force has reassured fans it has worked closely with Greater Anglia to try to help things run smoothly.

Norfolk's Assistant Chief Constable Nick Davison said: "I want people to feel reassured and have every confidence in their travel plans for Saturday and we’ve been working closely with Greater Anglia and Konectbus Park & Ride service, as part of our planning around the match and in light of changes to the usual scheduled train service, to do just that.
