West Ham’s Premier League form has been somewhat up and down as their Europa League run has continued to hot up over the last two months.

David Moyes’ side were beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the weekend in what was a disappointing performance from his side.

But that will all be forgotten if they can go to France and beat Lyon to book their place in the semi-finals.

A glamour tie against Barcelona could await them in the last four, so this promises to be a hugely enthralling contest against the struggling Ligue 1 side.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the second leg.
