English football's nastiest rivalry is reignited as Millwall and West Ham do battle in feisty London derby - with home fans giving Dani Dyer's footballer husband Jarrod Bowen a hostile welcome at The Den

West Ham received a hostile welcome from Millwall supporters ahead of their London derby.
The London foes are set to reignite one of English football's fiercest rivalries for the first time in 14 years as Nuno Espirito Santo's Championship leaders travel to The Den to face Alex Neil's underdogs.
The Met Police confirmed this week that additional measures have been put in place to help ensure the match passes off safely, with approximately 400 officers on duty for the game.
And in the build up to kick off, Millwall fans set the tone by booing and shouting at the Hammers as they arrived at The Den.
One fan could be heard yelling: 'You f***ing n**heads' as the team bus pulled in.
Others shouted 'f*** off' and directed x-rated hand gestures at the coach.
It was a relatively quiet build up to kick off following a Friday night crackdown, with 26 people arrested after a fight was arranged at The Carpenters pub in Stratford - a popular local pub for West Ham fans.
