Manchester United
Domestically, Man United is impressive, sitting at the third of the Premier League this season. In fact, they are coming from a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest and are aiming for the same result in this match. During the first leg, Man United actually dominated the first half, with a two-goal lead. Those goals were from marcel Sabitzer, but they unfortunateley did not protect that lead. However, the problem with Man United is the fact that they have been affected by injuries now. Considering that they are short-handed in this important match, Man United needs to go all-out in this match. Moreover, other guys also need to step-up in this match since they lack important players. As they have no advantage, Man United needs to go all-out here.
Following the yellow card he got during the first leg, Bruno Fernandes is suspended in this match. Meanwhile, Donny van de Beek, Alejandro Garnacho, Tom Heaton, Scott McTominay, Martinez, and Varane are all absents due to injuries.
Sevilla
Sevilla is a team who is not doing well domestically, which is why the first leg result came out as a surprise. They are actually at the 13th of the La Liga league table, and this season is clearly not their best season. Fortunately, Sevilla is coming from a 2-0win against Valencia during the weekend, and are confident in this match. The problem for Sevilla is that they need to address their inconsistencies this season. Luckily this squad is finally able to show signs of improvement over the past weeks. The fact that they were able to climb back from being two-goals down on their last match speaks their capability. Sevilla dominated the second half of their first leg, giving them opportunity to climb back from being down by two goals.
Unfortunately, Gonzalo Montiel is suspended in this match, following a yellow card he picked up during the first leg. Pape Gueye on the other hand is ineligible to play here, while Joan Jordan is out due to an injury.
