West Ham are working with authorities on the issue and have vowed to come down hard on the perpetrators. The club have also launched their own investigation and have promised to take the 'strongest possible action against those responsible'.
Spectators at the match told Sportsmail they did not hear the chant break out during the EFL Cup tie, which West Ham won 2-1 to set up a quarter-final match with Manchester United, but those caught handing out the flyers face criminal prosecution and stadium bans.
A Met Police spokesman said: 'Police are aware of a leaflet handed out before the match containing homophobic contents. This will will form part of the post match investigation.'
