Nuno Espirito Santo and the Wolves have gone through qualifying rounds to pass to the Premier League team in the 2019-2020 Europa League for more than a year, while Sevilla is the unofficial dog of the festival that has won it most times. any team in history.
The La Liga team finished fourth this season in Spain with Julen Lopetegui, while the Wolves finished seventh in the Premier League and know that the way to play in Europe next season is to win this festival and qualify for the Champions League.
Before a massive night out for the wolves, look in a preview of how to see Wolves – Seville in the US, Betting odds, forecasts and more.
Nuno Espirito Santo praised Sevilla and knows that his team has a great challenge ahead, while he has supported his team to take the next step in their three-year adventure together:
“It’s been a long adventure, not just this season. A long adventure that began three seasons ago in the championship. It’s essentially the same player organization. It was about looking to build a team, create an identity, and we looked forward to compete well and play a smart game. We were able to create an identity. This is one of the most valuable things in football: having an identity, based on a taste for the game and how we manage and socialize with our regulations and tasks. , how we deal with the disorders that arise. Trying to create a team, recruit players, some takes time, some don’t, but that’s what it’s all about. We have to manage the result and I am very proud of the way we did things and now I can say that we have our own identity. It is based on a forged foundation of respect and hard work, and that’s what we need to show: an intelligent, identityed team committed to the challenge. “

Sevilla star Lucas Ocamps on the risk posed by wolves: “Anyone who sees a little football has already noticed them play. I feel like they’re very competitive and physical. They have wonderful players and come here hungry for glory to beat us. I too will be equivalent because we will have the same preference and it will be difficult.”
Wolves are the underdogs (pardon the pun) as they are +235 to beat Sevilla who are +120, but the tie at +230 is interesting. We can see this going to extra time and maybe even penalty kicks.
The wolves love to disappoint the odds and Raúl Jiménez and Adama Traoré will explode Sevilla against, but Sevilla is a shrewd team and is the third seed to win the Europa League again. The wolves are harmful, but I’ll beat Sevilla in overtime. 2-1.

The latest news of the Premier League move sees David Brooks connected to Liverpool, while Dean Henderson could be re-on loaned through Manchester United.
[VIDEO: Best of the Premier League]
From Liverpool, a Daily Star report indicates that Liverpool is the one that will point to 23-year-old Welsh striker David Books from Bournemouth recently relegated.
Per the report, Everton, Tottenham and West Ham all want to sign Brooks but Bournemouth’s price tag of $45.7 million is putting clubs off.
David Brooks is a Klopp-style signing. Look at Georginio Wijnaldum, Andrew Robertson and Harvey Elliott. The Liverpool recruitment team loves to pass through the newly relegated groups for a smart deal and Brooks would fall into that category, but because of his taste for the game, he would also adapt very well.
His 2019-2020 season was hit by a massive ankle injury, however, his return after the reboot took a step forward by Bournemouth and if the foreigners from Wales had had compatibility all season, they would probably still be on the most sensible flight.
Where would I be in Liverpool? The Reds want a more sensitive and attentive offensive midfield and Brooks plays more frequently outside, can have compatibility and would be a smart choice for Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wijnaldum. Brooks can also play open if Salah and Mane want to rest, and it’s probably a better option than marginal players Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino.
It remains to be noted whether Klopp and Liverpool will spend that kind of money, as they would be willing to decrease their team and rise conservatively. That said, David Brooks would probably be worth more than $70 million before his injury and relegation from Bournemouth, and is young, hungry and has a lot of speed to be a direct runner with the ball on his feet. Liverpool may be the right player with the right value at the right time.
Moving from Liverpool to Manchester, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has one with his goalkeepers.
David de Gea is his number one, but with Sergio Romero as his choice of replacement and young Dean Henderson desperate to claim his prestige as a regular United player, everything has to give way.
The London Evening Standard believes this means that Henderson, 23, will lend again for the 2020–21 season. Henderson has shone on loan at Sheffield United for more than two seasons, but as the Blades seek to point out Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for a permanent contract, Henderson is possibly heading this summer.
Henderson has been in a connection with Chelsea, but Man United would not be willing to bolster a direct rival, so he is likely to return to the Blades. However, another key to the plays is that Romero can move on, as he now needs to play regularly, so Henderson would be De Gea’s replacement for the 2020–21 season.
Asked about his position as a doorman, what Solskjaer had to say.
“I think I have to be the top privileged technician in the global with the goalkeeper department, with Sergio, David and we have the return of Dean Henderson. Three highs and highs” supporters, ” said Solskjaer. showed how vital Sergio has been to us and to me by DavidArray’s performance. We’ll see what we do for the rest of the season and in the future. It’s complicated, but it’s a big challenge. We’ve got Dean, Sergio, David in the ranks. Lee (Grant), the fantastic professional he is, supports them. It’s going to be hard to stay 3 at the club, so we’ll see what the resolution is.
It would be difficult for Henderson to sit on the bench, but the next step in his progression is to play 10 to 15 games per season in the FA Cup and League Cup? I’d probably have a strange start in the Champions League and Premier League when De Gea wants to rest, but that’s it.
Henderson has to play and many would say he would have to face De Gea for the initial task at Man United and help himself. If De Gea makes some mistakes in early 2020-21 and Henderson waits at the bank, he may have the chance to usurp the Spanish star.
