Manchester United still have work to do if they're reach the Europa League semi-finals, after spectacularly throwing a 2-0 lead against Sevilla to draw the first leg of their quarter-final tie 2-2.
Late own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire cancelled out Marcel Sabitzer's first-half brace at Old Trafford last week, making United's visit to Andalucia trickier than it might have been. And Erik ten Hag and co. know all about testing trips to the city of Seville: they met strong resistance from Real Betis in the last 16 (although they did hold a 4-1 lead from the first leg on that occasion).
For Sevilla, who have lifted the Europa League / UEFA Cup a record six times – all in the last 17 years – winning this competition is their only realistic way into Europe at the end of a season which has seen them struggle badly in La Liga compared to previous campaigns. And they have knocked United out of Europe before: in the last four of the 2019/20 Europa League – which they won.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST.
Team news
Sevilla boss Jose Luis Mendilibar will have to make do without right-back Gonazlo Montiel, who is suspended after picking up his third European booking of the season in the first leg – the hosts otherwise have a full complement of players at their disposal.
As for United, their injury list has grown after they lost Lisandro Martinez – who's been ruled out for the rest of 2022/23 – and Raphael Varane in the first leg. Donny van de Beek is also out for the season, while Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho remain sidelined for this clash. Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are both doubtful; Bruno Fernandes is banned after picking up his third European booking this term last week.
Form
United's comfortable 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday made it three victories from four games in all competitions – and five from seven. Erik ten Hag's side currently sit third in the Premier League.
Sevilla are also putting a little run together, having recorded two wins and two draws since Mendilibar succeeded the sacked Jorge Sampaoli in the dugout. The hosts won 2-0 away to Valencia in La Liga last time out.
Referee
Artur Dias of Portugal will be the referee for Sevilla vs Manchester United.
Stadium
Sevilla vs Manchester United will be played at the 42,714-capacity Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan in Seville.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Europa League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
