Ole Gunnar Solskjaer determined to make it third time lucky for Manchester United

Follow all the action live as Wolves face Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals in Duisburg tonight.

The tournament is being played out in a sudden-death format due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with tonight’s winner set to face Manchester United in the semi-finals on Sunday.

Wolves’ Premier League season ended in disappointing fashion, with the club sliding into a seventh-place finish on the final day. However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side responded by defeating Olympiacos at Molineux last week to reach this stage of the competition. Sevilla, who finished fourth in La Liga, beat Roma to reach the last eight. Follow all the action live below:

Lucas Ocampos is the danger man for Sevilla. The Argentine has 15 goals to his name in all competitions, leading the way in a team based on sound defensive principles. At the back, Brazilian Diego Carlos has been excellent, while Sergio Reguilon is a real threat going forward from left-back.

Wolves will be looking to this man to make the difference tonight. Plenty has been said about Traore throughout the season, but he is truly unplayable when on form. He appears to be starting in a front two alongside Jimenez tonight, so that will give Sevilla's back four plenty to think about.

Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui​: "They [Wolves] are at a very, very high level. They have obtained very good results against teams high up in the Premier League. We know the kind of rival we are going to play. They are our reality. They'll force us to play a great game if we want to beat them. Every game has different nuances, and we need to focus on ourselves and take our work to the limit. We'll try to do that while respecting our rival, who are really powerful. They have proven to be powerful. It's a very solid team."

The players make their way out on another sultry night in Germany. Let's hope the heat doesn't have an adverse impact on the game.

1 min: A very early opportunity for Wolves as Traore finds space on the right and crosses for Jimenez. That combination has proved so effective this season, but this time the Mexican's header is too close to Bono.

2 min: Sevilla have a promising moment of their own at the other end, though En-Nesyri is a long way offside when he drills a low shot into the side netting.

4 min: Moutinho curls a free kick into the box and Dendoncker meets it, looping his effort on the volley over the head of the goalkeeper and onto the roof of the net.

6 min: A chance for Wolves to break as the ball is quickly played up to Traore. He charges forward and tries to pick out Jimenez, who can't quite control the pass. Those two could cause real problems on the counter attack.
