West Ham make eight changes from the team which beat Bournemouth at the weekend, but just three from the side which played the first leg. The big news is that Mark Noble is rested.

You won't believe this but West Ham striker Andy Carroll has been ruled out for between four and six weeks with a knee injury sustained in the first leg.

And record signing Andre Ayew needs thigh surgery and will be out for four months.  

It's not been the best start to a season injury-wise. Reinforcements on the way?

Will Darren Randolph start in goal tonight? We will have the team news soon.

Just to clarify, a 0-0 draw is enough to send West Ham through after last week's draw in Romania.

Any win would also see them through, a 1-1 draw means extra-time at least and any other score draw ends the European run.

This is still going to take some getting used to isn't it?

Ninety minutes away from a Europa League group campaign.

Whether you see that as a positive or a negative, that's the state of play awaiting West Ham this evening.

A win against Romanian side Astra Giurgiu will extend Slaven Bilic's side's season by at least six games.

Can the Hammers do it?
