Manchester United are within touching distance of the Europa League quarter-finals ahead of their last-16 second leg away to Real Betis thanks to a superb win last week.
The Red Devils thrashed the Spaniards 4-1 in the first leg at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst on the scoresheet.
They now must avoid a total collapse in Seville in order to progress, although their recent form has been patchy, with a 7-0 humiliation against Liverpool and disappointing 0-0 draw with Southampton coming either side of the first leg result.
Betis are fifth in La Liga but head into the game without a win in their last three games in all competitions.
Kick-off is at 5.45pm GMT.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Europa League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Europa League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
• Canada: The way to watch Premier League football in 2022/23 is fuboTV, which has exclusive rights to all the action.
• Australia: Optus Sport will screen every game of the Premier League season. Non-subscribers can access the action via a Fetch TV box and other friendly streaming devices.
• New Zealand: Sky Sport are serving up all 380 games – plus various highlights and magazine shows throughout the week, as well as the Champions League.
