WEST HAM are aiming to end Sevilla's incredible Europa League streak as they host the Spaniards at the London Stadium.
Sevilla have lifted the trophy six times and won the competition four of the last five times they entered it.
Only Slavia Prague have knocked Sevilla out of the Europa League in the last ten years.
But David Moyes' Hammers will feel they have a chance, having restricted Sevilla to just a 1-0 victory in Spain last week.
And in what could be a crucial change to this year's rules, away goals will NOT count double.

Rakitic to return to Sevilla midfield
Rakitic is set to start this evening after picking up an injury during the warm up in the first leg. Ex-Manchester City midfielder, Fernando is also back fit and can help bring some experience to midfield.
Sevilla are also likely to be without Acuna after the Argentinian limped off against Rayo Vallecano four days ago. The left back was one of Sevilla’s brightest sparks against West Ham, providing the assist for their goal. His set pieces will be missed by the away side, with his absence a boost for the hosts.
Lucas Ocampos will also miss out this evening after picking up a yellow card in the first leg.
Elsewhere, Sevilla have a number of absentees including Diego Carlos, Lamela, Papu Gomez, Rekik and Suso.
Bowen out for the Hammers, Antonio available
Antonio and Cresswell were taken off injured during West Ham’s win over Aston Villa on Sunday. However, the pair are likely to be fit enough for this evening, having both returned to training yesterday.
Bowen was not passed fit enough to play a part this evening. Whilst Yarmolenko is available after his emotional goal on Sunday. However, the 32-year-old admitted he is far from 100 percent.
Good evening from the London stadium
Welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of this evening’s nicely poised Europa League second leg tie between West Ham and Sevilla.
The Spanish side, who sit second in La Liga, got the better of the Hammers last time out, winning 1-0 after an excellent strike from Munir. West Ham were wasteful in front of goal but managed to keep Sevilla out from scoring any more. After an encouraging first half for Moyes’ side, Sevilla looked the far more dangerous in the second, creating a series of chances.
However, West Ham will look to take advantage of a packed London stadium, and become the first English team in History to beat the Spanish side.
Since the sides last played last Thursday, West Ham had an important 2-1 victory win over Aston Villa in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Sevilla dropped points away to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga with a 1-1 draw.
West Ham will look to be clinical with their chances, with Sevilla likely to shut up shot, and try to catch West Ham on the counter.
The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 in London, and we will bring you confirmation of both team’s line-ups as a part of our build up to kick off.
