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.
The Met are promising they will not tackle Monday night’s match lightly as they look to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes from that fourth-round tie in October.
