Football. ua presents to your attention the preview of the return match 1/8 of the Champions League, in which MJ will take Seville.

Other Tuesday's confrontation in the Champions League, in addition to Roma Shakhtar, will be the meeting of the English Manchester United and the Spanish Sevilla at Old Trafford. Andalusians could count on more than a "dry" draw in the first fight, but they can only blame their own implementation. However, David De Gea is to be given credit.

Tuesday, 21:45, Manchester, Old Trafford. Live broadcast on Football 2.

The first match:.

Sevilla - Manchester United 0: 0 Winchenzo Montel's wards at the weekend in their native walls gave way to Valencia - this result has put an end to any dreams of the "nerves" about the Top 4 in La Liga. The mathematical odds, of course, remain, but such miracles happen extremely rarely, and Sevilla does not make due efforts. So, the last tournament in which Vincenzo Montella's team can "make a noise" is the Champions League. On the outrageous motivation of Andalusians and should not be said, it is so understandable. Only here on the other side of the barricade is a more solid opponent. In addition, between Jose Mourinho and Vincenzo Montella, the gap in terms of coaching experience at the highest level.

"Red Devils" managed to hold three matches after a voyage to Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan. Manchester United got a strong-willed victory over Chelsea, made a brilliant comeback at Selhurst Park and retained the advantage in the match against Liverpool. As you can see, the team of Jose Mourinho, on the contrary, has taken a very serious step towards his goal in the national championship. Note the return of Eric Bayi, in which the defense of the "Red Devils" added to the reliability.

As for the composition of the teams for the match, everything should be quite predictable. "Special" is unlikely to make a reshuffle after a successful match with Liverpool. You can expect the appearance of Jesse Lingard instead of Juan Mata, but then the Portuguese expert deprives himself of the "wand-zashchalochki" - it is painful the Englishman well enters the game from the bench. However, Marouane Fellaini returned to the ranks, and this is no longer a "stick", but a more serious fighting unit. Victor Lindelof, who draws misfortunes to himself, it is better to save for the cup match against Brighton. Vincenzo Montella, in comparison with the fight against Valencia, can not count Miguel Lajun, who played for Porto in this draw of the Champions League. And on the left in the attack we expect a good showing in the first match of Joaquin Correa.

Approximate compositions:.

Manchester United: De Hea - Valencia, Bayi, Smalling, Yang - Matic, Maktominey - Mata, Sanchez, Rushford - Lukaku.

Seville: Rico - Mercado, Kjaer, Lengle, Escudero - Nzonzi, Banega - Sarabia, Vazquez, Correa - Muriel.

Will not play: Blind, Herrera, Rojo, Jones - Corshia, Navas, Laiyun.

In doubt: Ibrahimovic, Martial, Pogba (all - MJ).

The referee of the meeting is Danny McKeeley (Holland).

In this calendar year, the referee managed to hold nine duels, in which he showed 26 yellow cards and two red cards. It should be noted that the Dutchman already served two Anglo-Spanish confrontations in this draw of the most prestigious tournament of the Old World: Liverpool - Sevilla (2-2) and Chelsea - Atletico (1: 1).

The trainers say:.

Jose Mourinho, head coach of Manchester United:.

"We will not be upset if we do not win with a difference of three, four, five goals. It is necessary to win at least with a minimum difference in the account. Now in my head turns only Sevilla. I know that it will not be easy to get into the next round. Ahead is a very difficult match. We are playing with a team that did not lose to Liverpool in two games, with the team that scored Liverpool away, with the team that got a draw on the field of Liverpool, "Vincenzo Montella, Sevilla's head coach:.

"This team with technical and physically very strong players. Her coach carefully prepares for matches, so it will be hard. If we consider the players separately, MJ has players who are familiar with the Champions League, such as the newcomer Alexis Sanchez, and the coach even won in this tournament more than once. MJ has technical players who, at the same time, are distinguished by good "physics", in this team there are many players without flaws.

We expect that Manchester United will not rush forward from the first minutes and will approach the issue of reaching the next stage very pragmatically. The goal of Sevilla can very much confuse the cards of Jose Mourinho, so the hosts will try to level the risk of even the slightest mistake. Nevertheless, suppose that the mankunians score one goal in each of the halves and with a comfortable score will be in the quarterfinals.
