Team News
Manchester United
Donny van de Beek is ruled out for the rest
of the season with a knee injury, while Christian Eriksen may not return to
action until April or even May with an ankle injury.
Expect Erik ten Hag to make changes from their 7-0 hammering against Liverpool for this one. Luke Shaw is likely to be replaced for Tyrell Malacia, as well as Diogo Dalot for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Real Betis
Nabil Fekir is recovering from an cruciate
ligament rupture and is out for the rest of the season.
Martin Montoya was not registered in Real Betis' squad for the knockout stages, and is unavailable as a result.
Prediction
Manchester United
Prior to Manchester United's 7-0 defeat to
Liverpool, many would be expecting them to get past Real Betis at home in the
first leg of their Round of 16 tie.
The mood has swiftly changed from optimism to despair, but United fans will be hoping the Anfield annihilation was just a one-off.
Real Betis
Betis are on a four match unbeaten run,
drawing to Real Madrid on the weekend. They will fancy their chances against a
bruised United side, but would take a draw with the second leg to play in
Spain.
Erik ten Hag will unsurprisingly ring the changes after their weekend performance, so we might expect them to bounce back, if they can get the humiliation out of their heads.
