Man City v Sevilla

Europa League winners Sevilla and Champions League winners Manchester City face off at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece for the UEFA Super Cup tonight. Since the Champions League was Man City’s first European triumph, this will be their first appearance in the Super Cup.

Sevilla on the other hand, have played in six Super Cups prior to this one and hold the record for the most defeats in the competition (5). They have only won it once and that was back in 2006 when they beat a fantastic Barcelona side 3-0. City have fond memories from their wins over Sevilla in the group stage of the Champions League last season, but will have been rocked by the news that Kevin de Bruyne may not play again for them this year due to injury.

Man City are back in business

Man City kicked off their 2023/24 campaign in style last Friday. They beat newly promoted Burnley by three goals to nil with Erling Haaland at the centre of it as usual. The Norwegian scored in the opening five minutes before doubling his tally ahead of half time.

From his two shots on target this season, he has scored two goals, a fantastic conversion rate. We all know about the ability to sniff out goals that Haaland has and it’s one of the reasons City were able to win three trophies last season.

They look like a team on a mission and there’s no surprise that they’re heavy favourites.

Man City Team News

The standout team news coming from Pep Guardiola’s camp is that Kevin de Bruyne will not be travelling. The Belgian started for City in their Premier League opener but was forced off early in the first half as an old hamstring injury flared up. He may not return this calendar year.

De Bruyne isn’t the only City star unable to make the trip. Portuguese duo Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias will also not travel. Bernardo felt ‘some pain’ after his side's victory over Burnley whilst Dias is still recovering from a head injury sustained in training.

Sevilla suffer late blows in slow start

Sevilla faced Valencia in their La Liga opener last Friday and it didn’t go as well as planned. It was a very even game throughout and things were looking promising for the Europa League winners. They went into the last ten minutes drawing 1-1 but conceded late on to Javi Guerra.

A red card for new signing Loic Bade with less than ten to play opened up the game for Valencia who took all three points. Sevilla managed just three shots on target and committed 15 fouls.

Sevilla Team News

Sevilla have their full squad available for the game. They have also managed to keep hold of their key men from the Europa League triumph and have added a couple of new recruits in Loic Bade and Djibril Sow for a combined €22 million.

Bade is expected to start, the Frenchman was sent off in his team's La Liga opener last Friday but his suspension does not apply to Europe so he will be eligible to play.
