SEVILLA'S UNPARALLELED EUROPA LEAGUE SUCCESS
Sevilla have won the Europa League a record six times, and four times in the last decade.
19:25
BIG NIGHT FOR MARTIAL
Plenty of responsibility on Martial in this game, with Rashford out. Martial spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla and did not have the best of times, scoring just once.
Martial scored last time out against Everton but has become a peripheral figure at Old Trafford, last starting a match in January as injuries have punctuated another frustrating season. With Rashford appearing most at home on the left of a front three and Wout Weghorst not a credible long-term option, there is a pathway for Martial to return to prominence. Whether he can walk that line remains to be seen, but a good display tonight would be a positive start.

ZILLIACUS NO LONGER PURSUING UNITED TAKEOVER
Both clubs have been the subject of off-field drama this season. The Glazers have put the Red Devils on the market, although whether or not they intend to sell is unclear and in calling for a third round of bids have alienated at least one potential buyer.

Sevilla's board saw off a motion which would force them to resign in December, but legal arguments over that vote persist and a court date is scheduled between this tie's two legs.

SEVILLA LEAD HEAD-TO-HEAD
Sevilla are unbeaten in three previous meetings between these clubs. The Spaniards defeated United in the 2019-20 semi-finals 2-1 en route to winning this competition, plus the sides met in the Champions League two years prior. Sevilla won 2-1 on aggregate, with all the goals coming at Old Trafford.

SEVEN CHANGES FOR SEVILLA
Just four players who started Sevilla's 2-2 La Liga draw with Celta Vigo start tonight. Ivan Rakitic is among the new faces, while the defence includes World Cup winners Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna.
Sevilla: Bono, Montiel, Nianzou, Marcao, Acuna, Fernando, Gudelj, Rakitic, Ocampos, Torres, Lamela.

MARTIAL AND CASEMIRO START FOR UNITED
Antony Martial gets the nod up front for the hosts and will be flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho. All three have a point to prove. Casemiro returns, having been suspended domestically, while Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw are both among the injury absentees. Christian Eriksen is among the substitutes.
Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Martial.
