Man United are favourites at 7/4. Inter second favs at 10/3.
Europa League 2019/20

Just watched Highlights of Sevilla-Roma. They’d rather bought Smalling - now their defence is just bad without him
Sevilla aren't favourites at all, they're actually only bookies 4th favourites after United, Inter and Leverkusen. Their 3 wins under Emery are meaningless because he isn't there anymore.
Why didn't Roma extend Smalling's loan? Did you lot say no to that?
Some good sided left this time not the shite there was the last time we won this competition.
Little off subject but saw an old interview with Chris Sutton and other players bemoaning Brendan Rodgers going to Leicester from Celtic. Were saying daft things like Celtic reserves are bigger than Leicester.
Everytime I see Scottish teams play in Europe, they lose. I believe that Gerrard could lace up his boots and put a shift in the middle of the park for the Gers today.

I'd say thats pretty accurate ratings. United the clear favourites and with the easiest quarter final. Only question will be motivation.
So the toughest possible semi final based on those ratings.
Will be a massive bottlejob from Ole if we don't win this. We're by far the best team left.
We hardly convincingly won the game at our ground in FA Cup. In PL, it was a draw, and both games were very tight. Their style of play is the one we're not really comfortable playing against.
It's neutral and one game off, so anything can go.
I am talking from my own perspective, by what I saw from Sevilla this past La Liga season. Very difficult team to beat. IIRC Sevilla only got defeated by 2+ goals margin twice. One by Barcelona early in the season, and in Copa del Rey. They only lost 6 games in La Liga. Not a team they can get defeated easily despite La Liga team often throw in a tower vs non direct rival teams once they can't save the game (goal difference is not the most important stats). And they're undefeated since the restart.
Inter has Jojo form since the restart, and prone to comeback. Then Conte's record. Inter can shoot their own foot in a sense.

Our players are on their arses though and in one off games anything can happen
I think this'll be the 3rd competition this season we go out at the SF's
Yep Sevilla are very good. Haven't lost since early Feb, finished level on points with Atleti and qualified for the CL, very good defensively.
Its a cup competition with some very good sides left, in one off games. Likely semi finalists will be:
3rd in Premier League vs 4th in La Liga
2nd in Serie A vs 1st in Ukraine
All 4 of them already qualified for the Champions League. Not a bottle job...
Roma went back on their word, this was the point where they were supposed to offer a specific transfer fee but they tried to offer less than they initially promised because Smalling turned out to be very happy there. So with no deal agreed, he's come back.
Nah, it’s one off game. One mistake and you’re out.
Celtic are bigger than Leicester. This season is actually the best Scotland has done in years! Don’t think there’s any shame in Rangers going out to Bayer. Celtic losing to Copenhagen, perhaps as they’re probably similar in playing squads
Inter Milan vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Manchester United vs Copenhagen
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Basel
Wolves vs Sevilla
Manchester United vs Copenhagen
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Basel
Wolves vs Sevilla
You jammy feckers!
United, as favourites and indeed the best team left, have a one in three chance of winning the competition. And if they don't, Ole will have bottled it? What nonsense.
Sevilla could you please knock Wolves out?
How good are Shaktar these days? They used to have a really good team
We are defintelly playing Wolves in the semi final and my god, they will depress us to death again playing against them.
Don't know why but I'd fancy playing Sevilla over Wolves. We struggle against Wolves so much and can see the same again

The usual Wolves overrating by the Caf in full flow 
I would like us to play against Sevilla in semis.
From what I've seen they are a better team then Wolves and play good football. If we play them it will be a hard one I think but that all the fun in that. I'm so bored to watch us play the likes of lask and Copenhagen...
It will be even more depressing to play against boring Wolves for the fourth or fifth time this season. And I don't like us to play against english teams in Europe.
Just hope we have the hardest of draws : Sevilla and Inter...Otherwise I don't even see the point to play in Champions league...it should be a good experience for the lads with hopefully a trophy at the end !

He said Celtic reserves are bigger! Balony.
Oh right, yeah. That’s nonsense
Its not overrating. Its just their defensive boring game that irks everyoneThe usual Wolves overrating by the Caf in full flow
Getting those same old tiresome digs in nice and early, I see. You do understand how football works don't you?
Inter will be a problem and we know we struggle against Wolves
It's a shame Banega's spent as many years as he has in this competition. He's far too good for this level. It's probably his own fault, though.
wolves are probably the worst side style wise that Seville could run into in these one off knockout games.
Just seen Varela's assist. Didn't do it for long, but I did enjoy his very brief time here at RB.
Why do most teams seem to be using a bunch of reserves? United, Leverkusen today, etc
United because we were up 5-0.
Because ties were as good as won already. United and Leverkusen will be playing full strength sides on Monday
I don't think anyone overrates them. Just sick of the fecking sight of them.The usual Wolves overrating by the Caf in full flow
still were a good opportunity to gain rythm after long time off
