Chelsea and West Ham fans warned ahead of Monday night clash as police say they have a 'robust' plan in place to deal with any trouble

West Ham and Chelsea fans have been warned by the Metropolitan Police there is a ‘robust’ plan in place ahead of their Monday night Premier League clash.

The last meeting between these two teams at the London Stadium saw the League Cup tie marred by trouble both inside and outside as fans fought and threw missiles.

Bottles, seats and coins were thrown as tensions boiled over towards the end of a 2-1 win for West Ham.
