Team News

West Ham
Leverkusen
  • Alphonse Areol and Kalvin Phillips remain sidelined with injury.
  • To compound the misery after last week's first-leg defeat, the hosts will be without both Emerson and Lucas Paqueta here, after the duo picked up yellow cards in Germany.
  • In a welcome boost for the Hammers, Jarrod Bowen has returned to full training and could start here.
  • Xabi Alonso managed to at least partially rest the likes of Alejandro Grimaldo, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Exequiel Palacios during Sunday's title-winning thrashing of Werder Bremen.
  • Adam Hlozek is the visitors' only confirmed absentee.

Prediction

  • After a 2-0 defeat in Leverkusen last week, West Ham were beaten by the same scoreline at home by Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
  • The Hammers have since slipped to eighth place in the Premier League, with success in the Europa League perhaps their only chance of securing European football next season.
  • Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, made history as they clinched their first-ever Bundesliga title on Sunday.
  • In doing so, Xabi Alonso's side extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 43 straight matches.
  • The Bundesliga champions should advance as expected here.
