For the first time since the 1980-81 season, West Ham are in European quarter-final action as they host Lyon tonight at the London Stadium.
It’s the first leg of the Europa League last-eight tie, which David Moyes’ side booked with an impressive showing against tournament specialists Sevilla in the previous round.
With a Premier League top-four spot looking somewhat out of reach for West Ham, winning the Europa League could prove to be their best hope of securing Champions League football next season.
While the Hammers have been impressive in the tournament so far this season, so too have Lyon. They cruised through their group before knocking out Porto to reach the last eight and they will be looking to take a positive result back to France.
The winners of the tie will face Barcelona in the semi-finals - the reward is an incredibly exciting one.
