A horde of protesters has congregated outside Villa Park ahead of Aston Villa's game against Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The groups are calling for the game to be cancelled ahead of its kick-off time at 8pm, while police presence in the area becomes evident.
Footage has captured demonstrators brandishing Palestinian flags and placards which read: "Free Palestine."
The much-anticipated match was the subject of worldwide attention after Maccabi fans were banned from going along to the game.
West Midlands Police dubbed the event a "high-risk" fixture. GB News' National Reporter Jack Carson reports live from the scene in Birmingham.
