Met Police officers will be on duty inside the London Stadium for the first time for West Ham's EFL Cup match against Chelsea on Wednesday, according to a police spokesperson. A temporary 'Airwave' radio communications system has now been installed inside the London Stadium, although Vinci Concessions who run the match day events are yet to confirm details on exactly where officers will be deployed.

West Ham United's stuttering start to this season could hardly be compared to last season, such has been the difference. Last season Slaven Billic and his team were riding high having beaten Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool away from home, two defeats at home to eventual Barclays Premier League winners Leicester City and newly promoted Bournemouth were obscured due to the positivity created by the victories over the 'big' teams.
