The Metropolitan Police have announced that officers will be inside the London Stadium for tomorrow's Premier League game between West Ham United and Stoke City following last week's crowd trouble.
Since the Hammers moved to the Olympic ground, officers have been situated outside the venue during matches, but this weekend there will be a strong police presence inside the stadium.
The call has been made as a result of the violence that broke out between West Ham and Chelsea supporters during the EFL Cup fourth-round match on October 26.
A Met Police spokesman has confirmed that police will be deployed between Hammers and Stoke fans in order to "support stadium stewards" and "prevent crime and disorder", according to the Newham Recorder.
Slaven Bilic's side head into Saturday's game 17th in the Premier League table after winning just three of their 10 matches.
