A tricky challenge awaits David Moyes' West Ham in Germany this evening, as they look to overturn a 2-1 deficit against Eintracht Frankfurt in this Europa League semi-final second leg. The Hammers' hopes of making their first European final in over 46 years hang in the balance after losing their home tie 2-1 in a match that saw them hit the woodwork on three occasions. 

The temsheets are in and the Hammers welcome back  Craig Dawson to the starting  after the defender served a domestic suspension. Manuel Lanzini is favoured in front of Said Benrahma while Vladimir Coufal is preferred ahead of Ben Johnson.

The hosts are without injured midfielder Jesper Lindstrom, but defender Martin Hinteregger is fit again and makes the starting eleven for Frankfurt.

Goals from Ansgar Knauff and Daichi Kamada last week give the German side a slender advantage coming into this clash, with Michail Antonio's close range effort which levelled for West Ham after 21 minutes ensuring the Hammers are still far from out of this tie.

West Ham come into this crucial game off the back of a disappointing 2-1 London derby defeat to Arsenal on Sunday that all but ended their hopes of a top four finish in the Premier League, with Moyes opting to play a largely full strength side.

Frankfurt's 2-0 defeat away at Leverkusen on Monday in the Bundesliga meanwhile saw boss Oliver Glasner make eight changes to his side that started last week's first leg victory at the London Stadium.
