LONDON -- Antonio Conte has urged Chelsea and West Ham supporters to focus on creating "the right atmosphere" when the two teams meet amid heavy security at the London Stadium on Monday.
Violence erupted in the closing minutes of October's EFL Cup tie between the London rivals at the former Olympic venue with bottles, coins and chairs thrown and police intervention required inside the stadium, despite the presence of approximately 1,000 stewards.
Seven arrests were made on the night and West Ham officials have since worked with Chelsea and Metropolitan Police to identify 97 supporters using CCTV footage and impose banning orders on them.
