West Ham to face Sevilla in Europa League last 16
West Ham United will play Sevilla in the last 16 of the Europa League following Friday's draw which also saw Barcelona paired with Turkish giants Galatasaray and Rangers with former European Cup winners Red Star Belgrade.
The one remaining English Premier League representative in the competition, West Ham will go to Seville for the first leg on Thursday, March 10 before hosting the return a week later.

They will be at home in the first leg to Galatasaray, the 2000 UEFA Cup winners currently struggling in the bottom half of the Turkish league.
The Istanbul side's Spanish coach, Domenec Torrent, used to work under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona.
Rangers will be at home in the first leg to 1991 European Cup winners Red Star after stunning Borussia Dortmund 6-4 on aggregate in the play-offs.
Spartak Moscow, the one remaining Russian side in Europe this season, were drawn to play RB Leipzig with the first leg in Germany.
