Ajax fans have been banned from attending Sunday's clash with arch rivals PSV Eindhoven amid concerns over possible violence between the two sets of supporters.

Trains to Eindhoven were cancelled due to engineering works, forcing the Eredivisie champions to put forward plans to travel by coach.

However, a court order brought by the mayor of Eindhoven, Rob van Gijzel, has put a stop to travel from Amsterdam, fearing that it would encourage hooliganism.

Unbeaten PSV are currently second in the league table with three wins from six games, while Ajax are in fourth on 11 points.
