#4 Sevilla's in-form attack

Sevilla v Atletico de Madrid - Spanish Copa del Rey
Pablo Sarabia has scored five in his last eight appearances

In the recent past, Sevilla are known to play an attractive brand of football which guarantees goals. And this campaign is no different! The attacking front of Pablo Sarabia, Wissam Ben Yedder, Luis Muriel, Nolito and Franco Vazquez have delivered the goods handsomely.

Ben Yedder is Sevilla's top scorer in Europe this season with six goals and was one of the highest scorers overall during the group phase. Sarabia is currently on a blistering run in front of goal and has scored five and assisted four in his last eight matches. The likes of Vazquez and Ever Banega have shown creativity in midfield whereas Nolito has been a regular starter.

When you put an in-form attack against a defensive unit that has come under criticism in recent times, it can prove to be a curious battle to watch. United's central defenders have underperformed recently with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling receiving a lot of flak in their two latest defeats. Sevilla's forwards would be relishing this opportunity to put the United backline under pressure which has proved to commit costly errors at crucial times.
