The Europa League returns to action this week as all eight Round of 16 ties see their first legs take place. With sides such as Roma, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Wolves and Sevilla all hoping to end the season with the trophy and a clear route to the UEFA Champions League group stage, who will prevail?

The favourites

There’s no doubt that the big teams had mixed results when it came to the Round of 16 draw. While Inter Milan and Getafe drew each other, with Sevilla and Roma doing the same, Manchester United got the plum tie on paper – Austrian side LASK.

It’s thanks to the draw that United are 7/2 favourites to win the competition, but in contrast to The Red Devils, Inter Milan may have some trouble against Getafe, though the first leg may have to be played behind closed doors if it goes ahead at all. Should it take place, Getafe will try to take advantage of the fact that Inter are in poor form, having lost their way in the Serie A title race, losing their last two league games including Saturday’s 2-0 reverse against Juventus.
