West Ham United manager, David Moyes, is banking on his key players, including Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus, to work their magic and secure a victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League quarter-finals.

Having suffered a 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the tie last week in Germany, West Ham will have the opportunity to turn things around as they host the reverse fixture on Thursday night.

Moyes expressed his confidence in his players, stating, “Everyone knows what Jarrod has done for us, so if he’s back that will give us and the crowd a big lift. We’ve lost Lucas Paquetá through suspension, so we have to find a way to make the magic happen.”

With Mohammed Kudus being a standout performer for West Ham, much will be expected of the Ghanaian attacker as they face Bayer Leverkusen at the London Stadium. The match is set to kick off at 19:00 GMT.
