Manchester United take on Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, with the first leg taking place on Thursday, April 13 at Old Trafford. Man Utd go into the game in good form after back-to-back wins against Brentford and Everton in the Premier League. They take on a Sevilla side who are languishing in 13th in the La Liga standings, but have a strong record in the Europa League.

How to watch Manchester United v Sevilla in quarter-finals of the Europa League, what channel the match is on in the UK, and what time kick-off is.
United go into the contest as heavy favourites. They beat another Spanish side - Real Betis - at the last-16 stage 5-1 on aggregate and take on a Sevilla team who are struggling for form domestically and sit in 13th in the La Liga table.
However, the 2020 Europa League champions recorded good wins over Fenerbahce and PSV Eindhoven in the last two knockout rounds and have won the competition three times in the last eight years.
Further, they are undefeated under new manager Jose Luis Mendilibar - albeit he has been in charge for just two games. He has presided over a win against Cadiz and a draw with Celta Vigo.

Ten Hag backs Martial to step up in Rashford's absence
United confirmed on Thursday that Marcus Rashford, who is their top scorer this season with 28 goals, will not be fit to face Sevilla due to a muscle injury and will miss “a few games”.
United manager Erik ten Hag believes Anthony Martial, who has scored seven goals in 17 appearances this season, can fill the goalscoring void left by Rashford.
"He is ready to start a game – against Everton [on Saturday] he was ready to start,” said the Dutchman.
“The stats are telling you that the moment he is on the pitch the time he needs for a goal is really less [not much].
"I refer to the [home] games against Man City, against Liverpool: when he’s in the team, we play our best football and have our best results. I see how he contributes.”
Luke Shaw will also miss the Sevilla game due to a hamstring injury picked up against Brentford last week.
However, Christian Eriksen is back after almost three months out with an ankle injury picked up during an FA Cup tie with Reading three months ago. Aaron Wan-Bissaka also is back to match fitness.
Rakitic: We will have Man Utd's respect
Sevilla have won just one of their last four games and are onto their third manager this season with Mendilibar taking over from Jorge Sampaoli earlier this month.
Midfielder Ivan Rakitic says United will still respect Sevilla because of their history in the competition.
"It will be a very tough game but also very beautiful,” he told AS. "We are going to fight to the maximum to get a great result for the return leg, in front of our people, at the Sanchez-Pizjuan.
“But I know that we are going to have the respect of United, because of the great history that Sevilla has in this competition.”
The former Barcelona midfielder says he and his team-mates will have to play their best if they are to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
He added: “Do not make mistakes, the most important thing. Every mistake in this type of encounter is punished, you cannot afford to be foolish.
“We are already in the quarter-finals and the best of the best are there. There is very little to go until the end. We have to play the best game possible and trust ourselves as much as possible.”
