The UEFA Europa League returns to the fold with another round of games this week as PSV Eindhoven lock horns with Jorge Sampaoli's Sevilla side in an important clash at the Philips Stadion on Thursday.
PSV Eindhoven vs Sevilla Preview
Sevilla are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a shockingly poor start to their league campaign. The Andalusian giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the Eredivisie table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Dutch outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Utrecht over the weekend and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
