West Ham travel to western Germany on Thursday for the first leg of this UEFA Europa League quarterfinal, hoping to do what no team has done so far this season by beating Bayer Leverkusen.
Xabi Alonso's side are currently on an unbeaten run stretching to 41 games, a streak that has left them on the brink of claiming their first ever Bundesliga title.

Leverkusen need just a win on Saturday against Werder Bremen to claim that prize and the Hammers will be hoping their focus will be on that fixture. Not least because they come into this clash without key midfielder Edson Álvarez and leading striker Jarrod Bowen a major doubt thanks to a bruised spine sustained at the weekend.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every game live wherever you are in the world.
A key part of West Ham's European campaign last year with seven goals, Michail Antonio has yet to score in the Europa League this year.

How to watch Bayer Leverkusen vs. West Ham online from anywhere using a VPNIf you find yourself unable to view Europa League matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the action -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
