Although the Whites have already been crowned Champions, and are heading to the Premier League, the Addicks still have it all to play for, and will need three points to have any change of staying up.

Superintendent Chris Bowen, of Leeds District Police, said: “We continue to remind and urge fans to bear in mind their own safety and wellbeing, as well as that of others.

"It’s important to remember that Covid 19 is still with us and large gatherings are still not permitted.

People should continue to check and follow the latest Government guidance for their own protection.

"The safety of fans and the wider public is our primary concern and the safest way that people can celebrate is in their own homes.”

Leeds Council said in a statement: "Like all Leeds United fans, we are so proud that the club is back in the Premier League. We know how important it is, not just for the club and fans, but for everyone associated with the city. With that in mind, it is understandable that fans have been and are very keen to celebrate this wonderful achievement.

"Ahead of tonight's match, we are however asking that people not repeat what we have seen in terms of large crowd gatherings at Elland Road and Millennium Square in recent days or at any other venue in Leeds.

"This is extremely important as we continue to tackle coronavirus and take all the steps that are necessary to protect people's health and well-being, and that of others. This must remain the priority and primary concern for everyone in the city, and we thank you for your support on this."
