West Ham are set to line up in second leg of the Europa Conference League play-offs against Viborg knowing they only need to avoid a heavy defeat to seal their progress to the group stage.
West Ham reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season, but the start of the season has seen them lose their first three Premier League games. The Hammers lost 2-0 at home to Premier League champions Manchester City before being beaten by Nottingham Forest and Brighton.
Viborg are clear underdogs having lost the first leg 3-1. They may not be favourites to progress to the group stage but will hope to pull off an upset against the Premier League team.

Getty ImagesSummer signing Gianluca Scamacca netted on his first start for the club when he opened the scoring in the 23rd minute against Viborg. West Ham confirmed the signing of full-back Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea and he could slot in at the back if Moyes deems the Italian international fit enough for a debut. The injured duo Angela Ogbonna and Vladimir Coufal could also make their return to the lineup.
