Europa League holders Sevilla aim to cement the first place in the standings by defeating Standard Liege at their Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Meanwhile, the Belgian giants are buoyed by the goalless draw in the first match and they need to try and hold off challenge from Rijeka and Feyenoord and make it to the next stage.

Spanish giants Sevilla have been thoroughly impressive this season and they only suffered two defeats in fourteen games.

Los Rojiblancos ended the three-match winning run in the league as they were beaten by Athletic Bilbao at the weekend, but they, nonetheless, remain just two points behind leaders Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, team’s Europa League campaign has been going according to plan, with home win over Feyenoord followed by away draws against HNK Rijeka and Standard Liege.

Los Rojiblancos now have the opportunity to all but secure their place in the knockout stages and they are 1.33 (1/3) to defeat Standard on Thursday.

Unai Emery will continue to rotate his squad in Europa League, meaning that Ever Banega, Kevin Gameiro and Kevin Gameiro are pushing for starting places.

Vitolo has returned into action after recovering from a hamstring problem, but Cicinho and Iborra remain on the sidelines.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Beto – Figueras, Arribas, Carrico, Navarro – Banega, Krychowiak – Deulofeu, Aspas, Reyes – Gameiro.

Standard Liege have been one of the largest exporters of talented players in Europe, but the club haven’t always managed to sign proper replacements.

Les Rouches took part in the Champions League qualifiers this term and while they eliminated Panathinaikos, they suffered a 4-0 aggregate defeat to Zenit and continued their campaign in Europa League.

Standard climbed to second in their EL group having taken four points from three fixtures, holding Sevilla to a goalless draw in Liege two weeks ago.

Les Rouches probably wouldn’t mind repeating such a result in Spain, so it may be important to note that draw pays 5.70 (47/10).

Standard arrive in Seville high on confidence having won last three matches in the league, but they are missing some important players.

Mehdi Carcela, Jorge Teixeira, Ronnie Stam, Tortol Lumanza-Lembi, Astrit Ajdarevic and Jonathan Viera did not make the squad.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Thuram – Milec, Ciman, Arslanagic, Van Damme – M’Poku, Faty, Enoh, Mujangi Bia – de Camargo, Louis.
