WEST HAM return to European action TONIGHT when they welcome Danish side Viborg FF to East London.
The Hammers fell short at the semi-final hurdle the last time they figured in a European competition.
And spirits around the camp will need lifting as they go into this encounter off the back of a surprise defeat to Premier League freshmen Nottingham Forest.
However, David Moyes can expect his new summer signing of Thilo Kehrer to bring some stability in defence.
But Viborg have built up some early momentum ahead of the match having already progressed through two ties to reach this stage.
