READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Well, this certainly could have been more straightforward.
Albeit to win such a tournament you must beat all-comers, the draw could’ve been kinder due to Sevilla’s wealth of experience and success in the tournament.
Whilst the Hammers have the quality to match their Spanish counterparts, the domestic form would also suggest that Julen Lopetegui’s side could be favourites.
