West Ham’s first European knock-out tie in over 40 years ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat by serial Europa League winners Sevilla.

A second-half goal by Moroccan forward Munir, who was only in the starting line-up after Ivan Rakitic was injured in the warm-up, settled the first leg in the Spanish side’s favour.

But Hammers boss David Moyes will have seen enough to feel his side are capable of overturning a one-goal deficit at the London Stadium in a week’s time and prolonging their European adventure.

Relive all the action from the Europa League round of 16 first leg.

Sevilla vs West Ham

David Moyes has made just two changes to the West Ham team that started last Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Liverpool. Alphones Areola replaces Lukasz Fabiánski in goal with Declan Rice, who missed the Anfield game through illness, coming back in for the injured Jarrod Bowen.

Sevilla vs West Ham

This is the latest stage West Ham have reached in a major European competition since the 1980-81 Cup Winners’ Cup, when they were ultimately eliminated by Dinamo Tbilisi in the quarter-finals after beating FC Politehnica Timisoara in the last-16.

Can they defeat the five-time Europa League champions as well tonight?

Sevilla vs West Ham

David Moyes has backed striker Michail Antonio to find his best form again as West Ham take on Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League last-16 tonight. Moyes said:

There have been some good signs from Micky Antonio recently that he’s on his way back, and he’s so important to how the team plays and how we perform as well,

"A good, performing Micky Antonio makes us play better."

Sevilla vs West Ham

David Moyes will be without Jarrod Bowen for tonight’s Europa League tie with Sevilla after the forward sustained a heel injury in Saturday’s defeat at Liverpool.

Declan Rice missed that game through illness and remains doubtful despite travelling with the squad to Seville. It would be a big blow to the Hammers if both Bowen and Rice were missing but Moyes has called on striker Michail Antonio to step up in their absence.

Sevilla vs West Ham

Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of the Europa League as West Ham travel to Sevilla in the early kick off before Barcelona welcome Turkish side Galatasaray at 8pm.

David Moyes’ West Ham side finished top of Group H to reach to this stage of the knockout rounds, while Julen Lopetegui’s team dropped out of the Champions League and won a play-off match against Dinamo Zagreb.

It has been 40 years since the Hammers have faced Spanish opposition in European competition and in order to make it through to the quarter-finals they will have to beat the five-time Europa League champions, Sevilla.

West Ham are Sevilla’s 11th different English opponent in European matches and the Spanish team are winless across their last three home matches against such sides - most recently losing 4-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League group stages last season.

Can the Hammers continue that run and cause a upset by beating Sevilla away from home tonight?
