West Ham United and Rangers must both overturn first-leg deficits against German opposition on Thursday if they are to reach the Europa League final, while Leicester City head to Italy aiming to deny Jose Mourinho's Roma a place in the first ever final of the Europa Conference League.

Eintracht Frankfurt have the initiative as they prepare to host West Ham after winning 2-1 in their semi-final first leg in London last week. Having knocked out Barcelona in the last eight, they are eyeing a first European final since defeating Borussia Moenchengladbach to win the UEFA Cup in 1980.
