WEST HAM UNITED will be hoping that they can beat the odds when they face Lyon in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final ON THURSDAY.

Despite being a man light for over 45 minutes of play, the Hammers managed to scrape a 1-1 draw out of the French giants.

But confidence will be low after they were embarrassed by London rivals Brentford on the weekend.

However Lyon failed to secure a victory on Sunday themselves in what has been a poor season domestically for them.

Which enhances the importance of this encounter with both sides chances of getting into the Champions League via the league route looking rather slim.
