Thousands of people are expected to gather and protest outside Villa Park tonight, ahead of the club's Europa League fixture against Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending next month’s Europa League match against Aston Villa, calling it “the wrong choice.”

Israeli authorities have confirmed that Israeli soccer fans were attacked in a "serious incident of violence" in Amsterdam late Thursday night.
