Manchester United’s win over Liverpool on Saturday could be the most important win they will secure this season as they are now firmly placed to finish this season as runners-up in the Premier League.
However, their only chance of winning a trophy this season could come from the Champions League and they have to eliminate Sevilla to get to the quarterfinals. They played out a goalless draw in the first leg thanks in part to David de Gea’s stunning saves. They head into this match on the back of 5 matches without tasting defeat.
Sevilla could have secured a first leg win in this tie if only De Gea was not in an inspiring form. But the Spaniards have a second chance to boot out the Red Devils at Old Trafford in this game.
They have won 2 and lost the same number of games in their last four matches and head into this game on the back of a shocking 2-0 home loss to Valencia. However, their recent away form is commendable as they have secured two away wins on the bounce.
They still have a chance of winning a trophy this season as they are through to the Coppa Del Rey final, but they would also want to go far in the Champions League this season.
