West Ham captain Declan Rice and defender Craig Dawson have both received their awards for featuring in the Europa League Team of the Year for 21/22. WHUFC reached the semifinals of the tournament before losing to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.

There are four Frankfurt players in the XI (Trapp, Hinteregger, Kostic, Borre), three Rangers players (Bassey, Tavernier, Kent) and two each from West Ham and Leipzig (Nkunku, Laimer). Leipzig, like the Hammers, were losing semi-finalists.

Two fine goals from Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen helped West Ham maintain their 100% record in the Conference League as they beat Belgian side Anderlecht 2-1 at the London Stadium.

West Ham’s next opponents, RSC Anderlecht, won their Belgian league game by the exact scoreline that the Hammers won their PL fixture by (3-1). Like WHUFC, RSCA also had to come from behind in this clash, with youngster Mario Stroeykens netting a brace and loanee Fabio Silva scoring their third.

A welcome result for RSCA, who had shockingly lost to Charleroi before their UECL clash against the Hammers at home earlier this month.

Two big games coming up for RSCA- one against David Moyes’ men in London followed by a blockbuster domestic clash against Club Brugge.
