West Ham manager David Moyes will hope his players will carry their new found domestic form to Europe
The Hammers play German side Freiburg in the first leg of a Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday.
Back-to-back wins have lifted Moyes’ side to seventh in the league, with the Scot targeting a European finish.
“I sense we’re getting back to where we should be,” said Moyes, who won the Europa Conference League last year.
The Hammers also reached the Europa League semi-finals in the 2021-22 season and Moyes has challenged his side to ensure a fourth successive season in continental competition.
The mood around the east London club seems to have changed since the top-flight wins against Brentford and Everton.
With his deal running out in the summer, the Hammers manager’s future has come under scrutiny and some fans waved a ‘Moyes Out’ banner during a defeat at Nottingham Forest last month.
A section of the support became increasingly unhappy after a poor start to 2024 saw West Ham go eight matches without a win.
Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd is a doubt for West Ham, while Ivory Coast winger Maxwel Cornet has not travelled to Germany because of a hamstring injury.
