Brentford are preparing the biggest police operation in their history for Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season at home to Leeds amid fears that travelling fans will go on the rampage.
Jesse Marsch’s side are in a relegation scrap with Burnley and Everton, who could both ease their concerns when they play their respective games in hand against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace on Thursday evening.
Brentford have earmarked the Leeds fixture as a security risk for some time and have been working with the Metropolitan Police and Hounslow Council to mitigate any trouble.
