    David Moyes is ready for West Ham’s first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Frankfurt on Thursday.

    The manager has hailed it as one of their biggest matches in recent history and he’s happy with the way their European run has gone so far.

    “It’s great for West Ham – seeing the football, the teams,” Moyes told UEFA. “It’s been a monumental period for us to get the semi-final of a European competition.

    “I’m hoping we can keep it going. It’ll be a great opportunity for us – like it will be for Eintracht Frankfurt. It won’t be easy.”
