Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the La Liga table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Andalusian outfit defeated Valencia by a 2-0 margin over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Sevilla vs Manchester United Prediction
Manchester United are riddled with injuries at the moment and will need to bring the best out of their resources this week. With Marcus Rashford injured and Bruno Fernandes suspended, the likes of Antony and Jadon Sancho will need to step up in this fixture.
