In terms of early team news, Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake returned to the squad today, and will likely be in the travelling squad to Spain. Kyle Walker came off injured in the second-half, and will be assessed to see the extent of the injury.
Jesus Corona is missing for Sevilla, after suffering a horrific injury in training last week. They are also without Marcao, and ex-Manchester City defender Karim Rekik is expected to be a doubt.
