West Ham take on Sevilla tonight in a massive test of their significant progress under David Moyes.
The Spanish side are Europa League royalty having won the competition six times since the dawn of the millennium and - considering that pedigree - simply have to be considered one of the favourites.
With the wheels coming off West Ham’s Champions League push from a domestic point of view recently, as well as their premature elimination from the FA Cup, this is the biggest game of their season so far.
A trip to one of the continent’s powerhouses, under the lights (somewhat) at a famous stadium says so much about the journey they’ve been on since Moyes returned to the club, as does the fact that the idea of them getting a result does not seem out of the question.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
