 Manchester United vs Sevilla Preview

A place in the UEFA Europa League final is there for the taking as two fallen European heavy weights Manchester United and Sevilla collide in the semi-final in Cologne.

The Red Devils, already having secured a place in next season's Champions League, will look to end the year with some silverware which shall act as impetus for the next campaign. For that, they will have to better than quarter final performance, where they toiled past a resilient Copenhagen side 1-0 via a Bruno Fernandes penalty.

The same goes for Spanish side Sevilla, who have also guaranteed a spot in the Champions League next season. They are well rehearsed in winning this competition, Unai Emery's side winning it three years in a row most recently. They will look to add to their record 5 triumphs in the tournament, being in fine form lately, after they edged Wolves 1-0 by a late Ocampos header.

PLAYERS TO MISS OUT:

MANCHESTER UNITED:

Man Utd have a fully fit squad, barring defenders Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones, who are absent due to long term injuries. Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof are expected to return to the lineup.

Sevilla are back to a full-strength squad after midfielder, Nemanja Gudelj, who tested positive for COVID-19 on the return to training to prepare for the Europa League, has travelled to Germany on Thursday following a period of isolation and a negative test.

PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR:

MAN UTD:

BRUNO FERNANDES:

Man Utd news: Bruno Fernandes reveals inspiration behind penalty ...

Ole's men look like a totally different and recharged side after the addition of the Portuguese magnifico. His eagerness to get the ball and the sheer will to be involved in every proceeding has been contagious, pushing his teammates to step up as well. The top scorer in this year's competition with 7 goals and 4 assists to go with it, he will surely a constant threat with his ability to shoot and provide crosses from any distance.

ANTHONY MARTIAL:

GW17 Ones to watch: Anthony Martial

The red hot Frenchman has enjoyed his best season since joining the Red Devils as a teenager, with 23 goals and 12 assists to his name. Not afraid to take on his man, or curling one into the top corner, the no. 9 always has a goal in him. His link up with fellow frontmen Rashford and Greenwood will be key for Man Utd's ventures.

SEVILLA:

EVER BANEGA:

Saudi Al Shabab announces the signing of Banega until 2023 ...

It seems like if you put a halt on Banega, you stop Sevilla. His clever movement of the ball and chemistry with his team-mates in forward areas in menacing. He was the protagonist when Sevilla went to Old Trafford in their last European meeting, can be prove to be instrumental again?

LUCAS OCAMPOS:

Wolves 0 Sevilla 1: Lucas Ocampos scores brilliant late header as ...

Lucas Ocampos has one of the revelation of the season in La Liga for Sevilla. Spearheading Lopetegui's attack, he is the team's joint top scorer and has been a relentless performer for them. Scoring the winner against Wolves, he can play in the centre, cut in from the flanks, his understanding with Jesus Navas on the overlap being lethal. Will he be on the scoresheet again in the semi-final? Have to wait and see.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

Manchester City VS Arsenal : Preview

In recent times, not too often Arsenal have had the upper hand versus Pep’s City. Given City’s inconsistency early on in the season with their solitary win from 3 games coming against Wolves, City are not too high on confidence and have been a poor reflection of themselves from their previous seasons. The loss against Leicester was embarrassing with their defenders leaking out as many as 3 penalties and Pep’s emphasis on improving the defence continuously somewhat seems justified as City spent over 100m euros only on defenders this season.          Arsenal on the other hand have looked like a well oiled machine with all their new recruits, Arsenal and Gabriel fitting in the team in no time. Their only loss came against the defending champions, Liverpool. Arsenal will look to carry the momentum from their previous win against Sheffield United. What’s more encouraging for Arsenal is that apart from their club captain and prolific goalscorer being am...
