MATCH PREVIEW
Wednesday’s match-up will serve up a feisty battle of will and strength considering the clubs involved may enter the encounter with some key figures absent. In Sevilla’s camp, Ever Banega, Luis Muriel, and Nolito have all been out of action for the past month recuperating injuries.
However, all three reportedly turned up for training this week and are expected to pass the fitness test prior to Wednesday’s game. Joaquin Correa, on the other hand, may not feature in the game having picked up a hamstring injury in Sevilla’s weekend win over Las Palmas.
In the Red Devils' corner, Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera look likely to feature in Wednesday’s game after sitting out United’s Saturday win over Huddersfield with injuries. The talismanic Paul Pogba also failed to travel with the squad for the FA Cup game with an illness and may face a late fitness test to seal a spot in the starting line-up.
However, defender Eric Bailly could start at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán having made a bow in the game at Huddersfield after missing most games in the first half of the season with an injury. Fellow teammates Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all far from returning for the current Europa League holders.
Despite the tall injury list, the Old Trafford side may still fancy their chance of getting a favorable result with the newly-formed telepathy between Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku being their fuel. But with Sevilla entering this European tie on the back of three successive wins, Manchester United will need more players other than just these two to turn up if they aspire to secure a win.
Retrospectively, Sevilla has already done the unprecedented against an English side this season. Montella's men came back from behind to steal a point in both group stage games against Liverpool earlier in the competition. As things stand, they possess the firepower to make life miserable for Jose Mourinho and his entourage with the in-form Wissam Ben Yedder leading their attack. The Frenchman could ask a lot of questions coming up against United's shaky defense, having already scored six goals in six Champions League games so far.
