Premier League giants Manchester United will face Spanish club Sevilla on Wednesday night, February 21 in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 encounter.

The last time the Red Devils played in this stage of the Champions League was in March 2014, and Jose Mourinho's men will want to make their fans happy against the Spanish club who currently occupy fifth position on the La Liga standings.

Last season, Manchester United emerged champions of the Europa League, and many of their fans believe United can also make history this term in the Champions League.

But they will have to dispatch Sevilla in the knock out stage for them to register their names as favorites for this season's Champions League title.

Sevilla will take this match with all seriousness as they were sent out at this stage of the Champions League last season by Leicester City.

Ever Banega could feature for Sevilla after returning from a hamstring injury this week. Joaquin Correa is also in contention along with Nolito.

While Pogba should be available for United, Marouane Fellaini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones remain absent.

In the other game tonight, Shakhtar Donetsk will be hoping to make home advantage count when they welcome Roma to the Metalist Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash.

Paulo Fonseca’s team won all three of their group stage matches in front of their own fans despite being forced to play 150 miles away from their actual home ground due to conflict in eastern Ukraine.

The time for these two games is 8.45pm Nigerian time.
