    UNITED'S FOURTH GO ROUND AGAINST SPANISH OPPOSITION
    Sevilla are the fourth Spanish club United have faced in the Europa League this season, after Barcelona, Real Betis and Real Sociedad. This is likely the most hostile atmosphere they will experience, however.

    TEN MINUTES TO GO
    Can United keep hopes of a treble alive? We'll have an answer shortly.

    RESPONSIBILITY ON MARTIAL'S SHOULDERS
    Martial was excellent in the first leg and played a role in both United goals. He was among the players taken off after 60 minutes, after which the Red Devils lost their grip on the match.
    Martial has stepped up in Rashford's absence and earned hefty praise from his manager. Another good display tonight could influence his future and for added motivation, Sevilla are the team Martial was loaned out to last season. He scored just one goal for Sevilla.

    POPE GIFTED MARTINEZ SHIRT
    Lisandro Martinez is out for the rest of the season after breaking a metatarsal in the first leg, but it has still been a notable day for the World Cup winner. That's because a United shirt signed by Martinez was today gifted to the Pope, who is also from Argentina.

    TEN HAG SAYS UNITED WILL BE READY
    Ten Hag is expecting a "brilliant" atmosphere at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. "The pitch is great and we have to be ready for that game," the United boss continued. "We want to go to the semi-final and then you have to give everything, because 99% is not enough."
    Commenting on the first leg, ten Hag insisted "bad luck" had played a role in blowing the lead - particularly going down to 10 men. The first 60 minutes contained plenty of positives, however.

    SEVILLA LEAD HEAD-TO-HEAD
    Sevilla are unbeaten in what is now four previous meetings between these clubs. That includes a victory in the 2019-20 semi-finals, which were one-legged.

    WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST LEG?
    Sevilla were 2-0 winners at Valencia at the weekend - a huge result in their quest to move away from the relegation zone. Bade and Suso scored the goals, with the three points lifting Sevilla eight clear of 18th-placed Valencia.

    The Red Devils also won 2-0 on the road, versus Nottingham Forest, with goals from Antony and Dalot strengthening their top-four hopes.

    ERIKSEN STARTS FOR UNITED, RASHFORD ON BENCH
    Christian Eriksen starts for the visitors, who make four changes versus the first leg. Eriksen effectively replaces the suspended Bruno Fernandes. Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Diogo Dalot come into defence, where United have been hit with a spate of injuries.
    Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are deemed fit enough for the bench, so too Marcus Rashford. Anthony Martial leads the line at a ground where he spent part of last season on loan.
    Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Dalot, Casemiro, Sabitzer, Eriksen, Antony, Sancho, Martial.

    EN-NESYRI AND NAVAS COME INTO SEVILLA SIDE
    Two substitutes who had an big impact on the first leg, Jesus Navas and Youssef En-Nesyri, come into the Sevilla team. They each had the last Sevilla touch before an own goal. Navas will be lining up at right-back as Gonzalo Montiel is suspended, while En-Nesyri gives the home team a true striker.
    Loic Bade also comes into the side as José Luis Mendilibar makes three changes.
    Sevilla: Bono, Navas, Bade, Marcao, Acuna, Fernando, Gudelj, Rakitic, Ocampos, Lamela, En-Nesyri.
