Having done a job in the first leg in Spain by avoiding defeat in a 0-0 draw with Sevilla, Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United will look to finish the Spanish La Liga outfit off when they entertain them at Old Trafford in this second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tonight.
With United’s biggest local rivals, Liverpool and noisy neighbours, Manchester City, already progressing through to the quarter final stage with ease, United will be desperate to join them in the last eight of this prestigious competition, and current form suggests this may well be the case as the Red Devils have won four of their last five in all competitions.
An FA Cup win away at Huddersfield Town have been complemented by Premier League wins over Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Liverpool, while making sure they avoided defeat in Sevilla in the first leg of this tie. Incidentally, Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 12 at home in the Champions League.
Sevilla may be kicking themselves for not making home advantage count at its fullest in the dour 0-0 draw with Manchester United in the first leg, and they now have to make their way to Old Trafford which has been an absolute fortress for the hosts for some time at this level.
Indeed, Sevilla will have to pull the proverbial rabbit from the hat if they’re to progress to the quarter-finals at Manchester United’s expense as the hosts’ last defeat on home turf in the Champions League was five years ago to Real Madrid.
Sevilla will be hoping they can join fellow compatriots Real Madrid by beating United tonight, but with just two away wins from their last 14 on their travels at this level, a tough night looks to be in store for the Spanish club.
