WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?

Erik ten Hag may provide updates on the fitness of Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, who have picked up injuries in our recent wins over Brentford and Everton respectively, during his pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

Casemiro completed his four-match domestic suspension at the weekend, and although that had no impact on his availability for the Europa League, the Brazilian is set to be eligible for selection once more. Fellow midfielder Christian Eriksen could be in line for his first start since January, after returning from his ankle injury in the triumph over Sean Dyche’s side, while Alejandro Garnacho and Donny van de Beek are long-term absentees.

For the visitors, left-back Alex Telles can play against United, despite being on a season-long loan from the Reds. Marcus Acuna and Pape Gueye were dismissed in their La Liga draw with Celta Vigo at the weekend but those bans do not apply to European competition. Gueye is not part of the Spanish side's Europa League squad anyway, nor is winger Tecatito.

FORM GUIDE

United have bounced back well within the last week, following the defeat away to Newcastle. Back-to-back wins over Brentford and Everton have seen Ten Hag’s team continue our push for a top-four place in the Premier League.

Sevilla were two goals to the good away to Celta Vigo in the league on Friday but were pegged back to draw 2-2. The La Liga side have struggled this term, and surprisingly occupy a bottom-half position in the table, but they have collected four points from new boss Luis Mendilibar’s first two games in charge.

Their six Europa League titles (the first two were won while the tournament was known as the UEFA Cup) are three more than any other side in the competition’s history, meaning that despite their difficult campaign on the domestic front thus far, they may be able to draw inspiration from their pedigree en route to lifting this trophy in the past.
