Lyon host Ajax in the Europa League semi-final this evening, with both sides vying for a place in the final in Stockholm. 

The French side have a 4-1 deficit to overturn from the first leg in Amsterdam, and Lacazette returns from injury to lead the line.

Lyon: team news

Fekir will play just behind Lacazette, with Gonalons and Tolisso completing the midfield.

Keep an eye out for diminutive winger Mathieu Valbuena, who is always a tricky customer for the opposing full-back.

Lyon XI: Lopes; Rafael, N'Koulou, Diakhaby, Morel; Gonalons, Tolisso; Cornet, Fekir, Valbuena; Lacazette.

Ajax: team news

Once again, it is a young team that will take to the field for the Dutch giants. 

Their only change sees Viergever return at left-back in place of Riedewald. 

Ajax XI: Onana; Veltman, Sánchez, De Ligt, Viergever; Klaassen, Shone, Ziyech; Traoré, Dolberg, Younes.
