West Ham are in control of their Europa Conference League last-16 tie ahead of the second leg against AEK Larnaca.
The Hammers earned a 2-0 win in Cyprus last week thanks to a Michail Antonio double and they will be hoping to finish the job at home to continue their quest for European silverware.
David Moyes’ side have fared much better on the continent than in the Premier League this season and come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
That result left them hovering above the relegation zone only on goal difference as they battle to maintain their top-flight status.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
Team news
Last week’s two-goal hero Antonio is out with a calf injury, while Lukasz Fabianski is also sidelined and there are doubts about the fitness of Flynn Downes and Lucas Paqueta.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Europa League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Europa League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
• Canada: The way to watch Premier League football in 2022/23 is fuboTV, which has exclusive rights to all the action.
• Australia: Optus Sport will screen every game of the Premier League season. Non-subscribers can access the action via a Fetch TV box and other friendly streaming devices.
• New Zealand: Sky Sport are serving up all 380 games – plus various highlights and magazine shows throughout the week, as well as the Champions League.
