David Moyes, West Ham manager, spoke ahead of the match, "The atmosphere is getting better and better at the London Stadium and so is the team, so hopefully we can maintain that and keep improving."

"I think West Ham is a great club in London and I think if we can maintain this level, we have a great English international in our team, we have very good players from the Czech Republic in the team and we have more international players than before, so hopefully we are growing and improving."

"There have been too many deaths around the world. I think we have to try to eliminate it as best we can. If I was a soccer fan, I would want to know that the person sitting next to me is vaccinated and gives me the best chance of not getting the virus."

"All we do is try to do the best we can. When we have the players we can wear masks, wash our hands, keep distances between the group and we try to do things correctly. Unfortunately, it's not just soccer clubs where there are COVIDs, there are COVIDs all over the world, everywhere we go, but soccer clubs will always be targeted because everybody is very important to keep soccer going and to keep everybody entertained by soccer, so it's really important that we do all the right things that we can."

Dinamo Zagreb are in second place in their group, but they need to win to secure their place and not depend on Genk's match against Rapid Vienna. Their last match in this competition was against Genk and they drew a one-goal draw.
