Team news & rosters
| Position | Frankfurt roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Trapp, Grahl, Ramaj |
| Defenders | Ndicka, Hinteregger, Toure, Hasebe, Da Costa, Lenz, Tuta, Durm |
| Midfielders | Ilsanker, Jakic, Hrustic, Sow, Kostic, Kamada, Rode, Chandler, Barkok, Lindstrom |

The Bundesliga side are far from European underdogs now, and the following they've taken to Barcelona and London may well live in local legend - and, as things stand, they have one foot in the final to boot.
But the job is only half done, and they will be foolish to expect the Hammers won't come out all guns blazing. Still, they are the team to beat now on current form, and they will be heavy favourites on home soil.
Predicted Frankfurt starting XI: Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, Toure; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Kostic; Lindstrom, Kamada; Borre.
| Position | West Ham roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Fabianski, Areola, Martin, Randolph |
| Defenders | Cresswell, Zouma, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Diop, Fredericks, Masuaku, Johnson, Alese, Ekwah, Ashby, Baptiste |
| Midfielders | Fornals, Lanzini, Vlasic, Noble, Soucek, Kral, Rice, Chesters, Perkins |
Forwards | Yarmolenko, Antonio, Bowen, Benrahma, Okoflex |
The dreams of a major modern milestone for the Hammers are now hanging by a thread - but if David Moyes' side have shown anything, it is that they know how to do it tough in Europe this season.
With Premier League domestic form effectively out of the window to focus on this, it really is an all-or-nothing gambit now from the visitors to overcome their disadvantage on the scoreboard.
Predicted West Ham starting XI: Areola; Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio.
