West Ham have a chance to reach their first European final since 1976 tonight when they face AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final clash.
Despite their season-long struggle in the Premier League, West Ham have found joy in Europe this season, reaching the semi-final of a European competition for the second consecutive campaign. David Moyes' side fell to defeat against eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League semis last year, but they enter the second leg of the Conference League semi-finals with an advantage after their 2-1 win over AZ Alkmaar in the first leg at the London Stadium.
The Hammers currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, so their only chance of playing European football next season would be to win the Europa Conference League. All West Ham need to do is avoid defeat in the Netherlands to book their spot in the final, where they would take on either Fiorentina or Basel at the Fortuna Stadium in Prague.
