Europa League Group A: West Ham United vs. Bayer Leverkusen
London, United Kingdom - West Ham United will host Bayer Leverkusen at the London Stadium on Thursday, September 16th, 2021, in the UEFA Europa League Group A matchday 1 fixture.
The Hammers, who finished sixth in the Premier League last season, will be making their first appearance in the Europa League since the 2016/17 campaign. They will be looking to make a strong start to their group stage campaign against a Leverkusen side who finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing start to the Bundesliga season, which has seen them lose two of their opening three matches. They will be hoping to use the Europa League as a platform to build some momentum and find some form.
The match is set to be a close and competitive affair, with both teams having something to prove. West Ham will be hoping to make a statement in their first Europa League match in five years, while Leverkusen will be looking to use the competition as a springboard to success in the Bundesliga.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST.
