Fans travelling to tonight's big match are reminded that there will be no parking at the ground or in surrounding streets.

Supporters are asked to park some way from Park Lane as advised by police and complete their journey by foot or to travel by c2c train services and catch a bus, with a number of services stopping outside the ground.

There is also a warning from home officials to arrive in plenty of time for the 7.45pm kick-off.

Club secretary Frances Roche said: "For some big games in the past it has been possible to delay kick-off times, but with this tie being shown live on SkySports we are running to a very tight schedule.

"We would like fans to be in position no later than half-an-hour before kick-off time."
