What Ndombele are we going to see tonight? David Moyes wanted a good atmosphere and he has got exactly what he asked for. West Ham 0 Lyon 0 West Ham 0 Lyon 0 Paquetta is played in down the left and whips in a cross that finds Dembele about six-yards-out. West Ham 0 Lyon 0

West Ham are “massive” to quote the chant of the moment – and so, surprisingly, was the London Stadium in the memorable Europa League win against Sevilla.

Memories are being made, such as a tearful Andriy Yarmolenko scoring against Villa and raising his hands to the sky. In the Covid season of 2020-21 Moyes started to make dramatic progress. The nadir for the London Stadium was the pitch invasion during a 3-0 home defeat to Burnley in March 2018. It was not, as some feared, a shagpile offcut from Sullivan’s home, but a claret surround with the club’s name emblazoned at the sides. Another problem was how to cover the athletics track. The diehards had many complaints: the distance from the pitch, plastic fans, the long walk from Stratford and the sale of popcorn.

There is a sense of real occasion once again at London Stadium as another sold-out crowd prepares to witness the Hammers' first European quarter-final tie ...

Peter Bosz is battling to prevent a first finish outside the top 10 since 1996, and defensive frailties have been a constant problem. The atmosphere will be rocking and, they hope, suffocating for Lyon, but manager David Moyes has urged his players to keep their heads and manage the game well. Lyon are particularly susceptible to the counter-attack, and West Ham will fancy their chances of doing the same tonight.

West Ham are looking to get to the semi-final of a major European competition since 1976 - when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs. Omen?

I know we’ve slumped a little but we’re yet to disappoint in Europe and are coming off the back of a vital win! A key difference between the previous round and this is the fact that West Ham play at home in the first leg. This game is absolutely massive for our club and it’s a chance to write history for us. Lyon in my opinion, is a more beatable opposition than Sevilla so I really fancy our chances against the French side. West Ham vs Lyon: Europa League predictions as the Hammers look to get to a semi-final of a major European competition for the first time since 1976. The players know the atmosphere and power the crowd will bring, which will hopefully spur them on to comfortably win the game.

West Ham face Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Europa League; first leg at the London Stadium is on Thursday night with second leg in France on April 14; ...

This would not only be a big boom for Lyon but for French football as well and I think they'll be motivated by that. He's one of the players who I think felt like it was time for him to move on but didn't get that move. I definitely think ability down the wings is something that West Ham can look to capitalise on. They've certainly got more forward-thinking players now that they've moved Bruno Guimaraes on to Newcastle and brought in Faivre who has hit the ground running. But otherwise, I don't see Lyon being able to afford bringing in Ndombele, and certainly not if they fail to land Champions League football. Juventus were very strongly interested in him and his form has really gone off the boil since. It's just a question of whether they feel like putting in a performance, but I think they'll be highly motivated across these two legs against West Ham. I think there's a lot of complacency within the squad. I'm sure West Ham fans will remember Moussa Dembele from his time in England and also in Scotland; he's started to come into a bit of form. He's coming through at the moment and one of the latest academy gems. It definitely hasn't been a disaster. The appointment of Peter Bosz hasn't worked out, there's been well-documented issues within the club at leadership level, so it's quite an unbalanced ship at this moment in time.

INTERVIEW BY SIMON JONES: Oscar Garcia gives Sportsmail the inside track on how West Ham can combat Lyon ahead of their big Europa League quarter-final tie ...

They were in fact the first team this season to get a win at Lyon. That said, the West Ham squad has the ability to really make the French side suffer. The fact that the away goals rule is no longer in place means that both the home and away games are of equal importance. If West Ham manage to regain possession and play direct and into the spaces, they'll get a lot of joy. Meanwhile, if Lyon get the upper hand, they've got players who are capable of playing a through-ball and are a real threat on one-on-ones. He can dribble, shoot, defend, he's very strong with his back to goal, he's a complete player and he's showing all of his class here in France.

We can see them advancing to the next round of this competition. This should be a very good contest as they both desperately want the win to continue in this competition. The monthly pass costs £25.

Slaven Bilic has admitted that he would be 'disappointed' if West Ham United don't progress past Lyon in the Europa League.

But, Lyon in the French leagues are not playing good. “On the other side, Lyon is a big name. “To be fair, it’s strange to say, but they are the favourites against Lyon. Yes, I think so.

When you consider the speedsters that are in the Premier League at the moment such as Mohamed Salah, Jamie Vardy and Tariq Lamptey, the fact that St Juste is ...

It would be interesting to see how West Ham would use St Juste, he wouldn’t suit their physical style under David Moyes, but his pace could be well-suited to a back three or even a shift to full-back in this side. Indeed, according to the Bundesliga’s official website, St Juste is one of the fastest players in Bundesliga history, he clocked a speed of 36.63 km/h this season, and that would make him the second-fastest player in the Premier League, behind only Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger. Standing at just 6ft, he’s not the biggest centre-back on the planet, and he would certainly be different to the likes of Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson.

Jon Eimer has locked in his UEFA Europa League best bets for Lyon vs. West Ham on Paramount+.

Expect both sides to stream bodies forward in possession, and with plenty of quality on both sides, this could be a game played at a breakneck pace with the potential for multiple goals for each team.

But David Moyes has made West Ham tough. Powered by injustice after seeing Felix Zwayer dismiss Cresswell for fouling Moussa Dembele, the 10 men dug in and took ...

Gusto did not do enough to stop Fornals and when the Spaniard prodded the ball on to Boateng it ran through to Bowen, whose messy shot hit the Lyon defender and bounced over Lopes. Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice struggled to keep the ball away from Tanguy Ndombele and Thiago Mendes, although there was hope on the break. The striker’s touch had taken him away from goal, while Zouma was covering, and it felt ludicrous that there was no intervention from VAR. West Ham refused to let it happen. There were possibilities when Lyon played through Houssem Aouar and the opening goal almost arrived when Lucas Paquetá broke down the left, only for Dembélé to turn the Brazilian’s cross wide. After all, Lyon were Champions League semi-finalists two years ago and, although their domestic form has been inconsistent this season, they remain an accomplished team and it quickly became clear that they were capable of making life uncomfortable for West Ham.

Match report as 10-man West Ham hold Lyon to a 1-1 home draw in Europa League quarter-final first leg; Hammers defender Aaron Cresswell sent off just before ...

After their team's heroics against Sevilla at the London Stadium three weeks ago, the West Ham supporters were in full voice in anticipation of their Europa League quarter-final first leg with Lyon before kick-off. The players stuck at it but we didn't play well. West Ham's frustration though, quickly turned to joy as Bowen struck seven minutes into the second half to give the 10-man Hammers a surprise lead. We had one or two opportunities ourselves but overall it was a backs to the wall sort of performance in the second half. When we went in at half-time knowing we had only got 10 men it made it a difficult job. I'm certainly not going to comment about the referee.

A pitch invader cost West Ham a chance to score after interrupting an attack during the first leg of a Europa League quarter-final against Lyon.

People have died and been put against a wall for what they believe in." You have to stand up for what you believe in. Not all of the fans played their part though.

The Europa League quarter-final is in the balance after first leg ends 1-1 at London Stadium.

Looked isolated for much of the second half but played a vital role in the build up to Bowen's opener. Said Benrahma Had the hosts' first chance when running on to a long diagonal pass only to see his effort saved from a tight angle and West Ham attempted that trick on another couple of occasions, twice leading to corners. With only the goalkeeper to beat he made no mistake, converting from about eight yards. Left with a bloody nose late on before making a sliding tackle that drew the second loudest roar of the match in added time. Ryan Fredericks Kept his place in the team because David Moyes was wary of Karl Toko Ekambi's pace, only for the competition's top scorer to start on the bench. Alphonse Areola The only change from Sunday's win over Everton. Hard to point a finger of blame for Tanguy Ndombele's equaliser but fortunate not to be punished when spilling a Lucas Paqueta shot 12 minutes from time.

West Ham rallied after losing Aaron Cresswell to a contentious red card but were denied a first leg win by the mercurial French playmaker.

“When you look at his face, he winks when the camera goes onto him. Antonio’s air-kick proved costly as moments later Ndombele tapped in the equaliser for his first goal since returning to France in January. Bowen, denied a first England call-up last month due to injury, has scored nine goals in 14 games in 2022. After a slow start, West Ham soon grew into it. - Antonio – 7 - Fornals – 7

West Ham overcame the sending-off of Aaron Cresswell to draw their first leg with Lyon.

It was a case of staying in the game. David Moyes, West Ham manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "That was an incredibly good, resilient performance in the second half. Peter Bosz, Lyon manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "Absolutely [I'm disappointed] because I think we played a good first half; in their stadium we were dominant and had a lot of ball possession. A full-strength West Ham will be confident of beating Lyon next week in France. It was always going to be difficult. After a first half spent sizing Lyon up, the complexion of the tie was completely changed with Cresswell's red card, but even though they let a lead slip, West Ham can be very proud of their performance.

Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele denied West Ham a famous win over Lyon as his strike saw the sides play out a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium.Ndom.

“Two players went down for Lyon earlier and the referee stopped the game for them. But as soon as he does that he sets a precedent for the game but when Bowen goes down why doesn’t he do the same thing?” Kurt Zouma was also on the scene as cover but Zwayer decided Cresswell was the last man and pulled out a straight red card, to the obvious delight of the winking Dembele and the dismay of David Moyes. Former West Ham player Alvin Martin said on commentary for talkSPORT: “The thing I can’t understand is that I think he’s going away from goal… “That’s a massive turning point in the tie, there’s no doubt about it. He’s created issues of his own making.

It was the same phase of play as the red card, and I would have expected VAR to do something about it. But this game never got the chance to flow.

West Ham have been left to count the cost of the decision to send off Aaron Cresswell in the first half of their Europa League quarter-final with Lyon.

I honestly don’t think it’s a foul, let alone a red card. That’s at the very worst. “I don’t think there’s actually a foul. “Everyone slaughters the referees that we’ve got here in the Premier League. I’ve said this for years, I think that we’ve got the best referees in the world, I genuinely do. “The only thing I really want to focus on is do you think it’s a foul on Jarrod Bowen in the lead up to the goal? “We have to deal with it and I think we did that tonight and put in a great shift.”

"This is a really good football club doing so many good things. Dembele went tumbling to the ground following the contact and Cresswell was shown a straight red card, having run a serious risk by putting his hands on the forward in the first place. The French striker loved a social media wind-up during his stint at Celtic and revelled in noising up Rangers fans, much to the delight of the Parkhead faithful.
