West Ham host Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday evening.

Hammers manager David Moyes is aware of how big a game it is for the club and has even gone as far as to say it’s the biggest in their history.

“It’s one of the biggest games in the club’s history in a long time,” he told Sky Sports. “I want to give everybody the best chance to be ready to be as fit as we can be. It’s difficult when you have important Premier League games in the middle of it.”

The club lost to Chelsea on Sunday with a late Christian Pulisic goal but they will be hoping to continue their form in European football.

But who will line-up for the teams and how can fans watch? Here’s all you need to know.
