The Met Police has warned fans heading to this weekend's Premier League clash between Spurs and West Ham they may face arrest if they chant the Y-word.

One Tottenham Hotspur supporter has been arrested for allegedly using the Y-word in chants at today's home game.

He was held on suspicion of committing a section 5 public order offence at half time in the stadium's East Stand.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have defied police warnings not to use the Y-word in chants.

The Metropolitan Police said they would be "on the look out" for football supporters who used the word during today's home game against West Ham at White Hart Lane.

The Spurs supporters chanted "We'll sing what we want" and "Yid Army" at this afternoon's match.

The Met said that as of 5pm, no arrests had yet been made. Officers had been speaking about the issue with fans on their way into the stadium.

I'm at West Ham United to talk to Sam Allardyce about the Met Police announcement that those caught using the Y-word at Spurs on Sunday could face arrest.

Sam Allardyce says: "You've got to be very aware about what you choose to chant and what you choose to sing. If they're made aware of it, you've got no excuse. It's something that our society is hugely involved in. Support the team, support the lads on the field, and forget about everything else.

"It is very important that those who use the word suffer the consequences."
