David Moyes spoke ahead of the Lyon game: "We don't know what we'll find because we haven't played them. We've seen a lot of French league games, that's for sure. We're looking forward to this game because it's a big occasion for us, for West Ham. We want to keep the streak going.

"We know that favoritism has to be earned and proven. I think it's very difficult to consider us favorites, because we're new at this and Lyon have a lot of experience.

"They are a very big club, very important in France. We know we have to work hard to get through. It's going to be very difficult. We have a lot of respect for them for everything they have achieved in recent years. Many people consider them a Champions League club, because they have been there many times. I remember two or three years ago I worked for Uefa and I went to see them against Juventus. It wasn't that long ago that they were playing against the best in the world."
