Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial is a major doubt for Sevilla having missed their last three through injury. West Ham are Martial's second favourite team to score against (6 goals in 13 appearances). Sevilla could be well short in attack on Thursday as Erik Lamela, Suso and Papu Gomez are also injury concerns for the Spanish outfit. Diego Carlos missed out completely at the weekend so Nemanja Gudelj is on standby if required again at centre-back. Thomas Delaney is suspended for Sevilla after his red card last time out in the Europa League. Former Manchester City midfielder Fernando will start in midfield as a result of Delaney's absence if he is available. Scan results showed Jarrod Bowen avoided any real injury after coming off against Liverpool on Saturday in a major boost for West Ham. Nevertheless, he remains a doubt heading into Thursday's game with Sevilla and Nikola Vlasic or Said Benrahma may deputise. David Moyes will desperately hope to have Declan Rice back from illness after his key midfielder missed the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool over the weekend. West Ham are still without defensive duo Vlad Coufal and Angelo Ogbonna, but Arthur Masuaku was back on the bench on Saturday. Alphonse Areola was West Ham's goalkeeper during the group stage of the Europa League and he will hope to keep his place in the side on Thursday.
Sevilla are flying high in second in La Liga and have only lost once at home all season in any competition. West Ham topped their Europa League group so enter the knock-out stage at this phase of the competition. West Ham have lost back-to-back games heading into Thursday's match and face one of the favourites for the whole tournament in Sevilla. With five defeats across their last eight away from home, it's difficult to see West Ham getting a result on Thursday. 2:0
Despite the contrasting European experience of the two teams, this makes for an intriguing clash. West Ham will fancy their chances of collecting at least a draw ahead of the second leg in London, but we are backing Sevilla's extra cohesion and quality to prove decisive in claiming a narrow win.
