AEK Larnaca v West Ham LIVE: A Michail Antonio brace has the Hammers in the lead

The players are in the tunnel and preparing to walk out onto the pitch

West Ham as expected are well represented in the crowd.

AEK manager Jose Oltra ahead of the match:

"It is a big and beautiful game. We have to compete, we have to play at our maximum, to give our best because if we don't do that, we are going to suffer on the pitch. We have to try to enjoy the atmosphere, it is a very tough opponent from the Premier League".

Despite being second in the league, AEK Larnaca's form has been somewhat patchy of late. The Cypriot outfit have won two of their last six matches across all competitions - losing back to back games in the Cyprus first division during that time.

Tonight's match is a sell out! AEK Larnaca play at the AEK Arena which has a capacity of just over 8,000.

Highlights of West Ham United's group stage performances in the competition this year. The Hammers won all six matches.

West Ham have struggled in recent weeks in the Premier League and find themselves just a point above the relegation zone. David Moyes' side have won just one of their last six across all competitions but can the Conference League be a welcome distraction for the Hammers? A good performance and result tonight could give the West Ham players the confidence they need going into the business end of the Premier League.

West Ham have been flawless in Europe so far this season. They finished top of their UEFA Europa Conference League group, winning all six of their matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding just four. The Hammers will fancy their chances tonight of bringing a good result back to the London stadium.

AEK Larnaca finished third in their UEFA Europa League group, winning just one game from six. Their five points were enough though to see them drop into the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. Larnaca then beat Dnipro 1-0 on aggregate to set up a clash with West Ham United.
