    Manchester United are taking on Sevilla tonight in the Europa League semi-finals and the right to take on either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donetsk in next week's final.

    Sevilla have won the Europa League five times and are going well again under head coach Julen Lopetegui, having knocked out Wolves in the previous round. But United have been in fine form themselves since football restarted, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a free-flowing attacking team at his disposal.

    70 min: Greenwood races away down the right, cuts inside and tries to drill a shot at goal. It's blocked before it can reach Bono this time.

    2020-08-16T20:29:55.626Z

    69 min: Pogba flashes a shot high and wide from distance. Sevilla appear to have weathered the storm now as United's energy levels dip a little.

    YELLOW CARD

    2020-08-16T20:26:53.506Z

    67 min: Rashford, who's had a frustrating night all round, goes into the book for petulantly throwing the ball into the ground.

    65 min: Sevilla knock the ball around in United's half but they're not really threatening as they did in the first half. This has been an impressive 20 minutes from the Premier League side; all that's lacking is the final touch.

    2020-08-16T20:22:36.580Z

    61 min: The Spaniards have gone about five minutes without needing Bono to save them, which will encourage Lopetegui. But United are still the side probing and pouring forward in numbers.

    2020-08-16T20:17:17.023Z

    57 min: United's half-time changes have clearly worked. They're pressing high and forcing errors, but they've been wasteful in front of goal and so Sevilla remain in the game.

    56 min: Sevilla's top scorer Ocampos makes way, seemingly struggling with an injury. Munir replaces him, and De Jong also comes on for En-Nesyri.

    2020-08-16T20:14:23.510Z

    54 min: Yet again Martial gets in behind, and yet again Bono rushes out to deny him. United's profligacy is threatening to hurt them again here. Copenhagen's goalkeeper was made to look like a world beater last week, and now the same is happening with Bono. 

    2020-08-16T20:13:25.720Z

    53 min: Another big chance! Martial wins the ball on the edge of the Sevilla box, gets it back from Pogba and surges into the box. But he can't beat the onrushing Bono, who's playing very well.

    50 min: United are somehow not in front. First Martial breaks into the box on the left and drills a shot at goal from a tight angle. Bono saves, and the follow up from Rashford is blocked. Martial then gets in again, this time pulling back for Fernandes, whose low effort is also blocked. Good last-ditch defending from Sevilla, but United have come out with plenty of intent after the break.

    2020-08-16T20:07:10.100Z

    46 min: Chance! Fernandes plays an inch-perfect ball into Greenwood, who controls well in the box but can't beat the onrushing Bono. The goalkeeper makes himself big and denies the teenager.

    KICK OFF

    2020-08-16T20:05:11.853Z

    Sevilla get the second half underway!

    It might be a concern for Solskjaer that they've only found the net through a Fernandes penalty again. So far, Rashford, Martial and Greenwood have largely been on the periphery.

    HALF TIME

    2020-08-16T19:50:02.286Z

    The first half is brought to a close. It's been open, tactically intriguing stuff in Cologne. Sevilla have looked the more controlled, balanced team, but United are a real threat on the break. It's finely poised ahead of the second half.

    2020-08-16T19:49:04.616Z

    45+2 min: Pogba plays a superb ball out to Rashford on the left, and the United man has yards of space to run into. He only has to beat the last defender to make it through on goal, but gets caught in two minds and gives the ball away.

    45+1 min: The ball sits up for Fernandes on the edge of the box and he powers an effort at goal. Bono makes a strong save, positioned well again to parry.

    2020-08-16T19:46:42.883Z

    45+1 min: There'll be two minutes of added time.

    2020-08-16T19:46:20.523Z

    44 min: Fernandes is slipped in on the right side of the box and tries to cut the ball back. Carlos comes across and very ruggedly stops the Portuguese in his tracks. For a moment it seems the defender might concede another penalty, but he gets away with it this time.

    43 min: Williams goes to ground holding his face after a challenge from En-Nesyri. The United youngster seems to be trying to make something out of nothing, and there's no card for the Sevilla forward.

    2020-08-16T19:40:29.416Z

    39 min: Rashford tries an audacious effort from distance, striking a free-kick about 35-yards out which forces Bono into a save. It's well struck, but routine for the goalkeeper.

    Team news

    Sevilla should be at full strength, with goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik back – though he might not be picked to play. Nemanja Gudelj is a doubt after a recent absence, but wouldn’t start anyway.

    Man United are without the usual defensive trio of Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe. Marcus Rashford appeared to pull up toward the end of the quarter-final and will face a fitness test before the game.

    Predicted line-ups

    Sevilla: Bounou; Navas, Carlos, Kounde, Reguilon; Fernando, Jordan, Banega; Suso, En-Nesyri, Ocampos.

    Man United: Romero; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams; Matic, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.
