Manchester United's reward for beating Barcelona in the Europa League Round of 16 playoffs is a knockout-stage pairing with another La Liga side, Real Betis.

Man United vs Real Betis lineups
Ten Hag would be within his rights to make wholesale changes to the team following the rout at Anfield. However, with United still looking to fight on three fronts in the season run-in, he will need to strike a balance between squad rotation and unsettling his team any further.
Interestingly, the United manager chose to name exactly the same starting lineup from the Liverpool game, with Casemiro risked despite carrying a knock and the risk of a suspension should he be booked.
Man United (4-2-3-1, right to left): 1-De Gea (GK) — 20-Dalot, 19-Varane, 6-Martinez, 23-Shaw — 18-Casemiro, 17-Fred — 21-Antony, 27-Weghorst, 8-Fernandes — 10-Rashford
Man United subs: 22-Heaton (GK), 5-Maguire, 28-Pellistri, 49-Garnacho, 31-Butland (GK), 73-Mainoo, 2-Lindelof, 39-McTominay, 25-Sancho, 29-Wan-Bissaka, 12-Malacia, 36-Elanga
Pellegrini is without key attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir, with his season ended by a knee injury, but veteran midfielder Sergio Canales has been passed fit to travel and is on the bench. Veteran Joaquin starts at Old Trafford.
Real Betis (4-2-3-1, right to left): 1-Bravo (GK) — 23-Sabaly, 16-Pezzella, 19-Luiz Felipe, 20-Abner — 14-Carvalho, 5-Rodriguez —11-Luis Henrique, 17-Joaquin, 7-Juanmi — 21-Perez

Man United vs Real Betis prediction, odds
The United fans at Old Trafford will be desperate to erase the memory of last weekend with a winning response against Betis, and Ten Hag's side are unbeaten at home in all competitions since a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad in the group stage on September 8.
Pellegrini's Betis secured a 0-0 draw with Real Madrid last weekend, and they will be confident of getting on the scoresheet in Manchester, so this tie could de determined by the second leg in Spain on March 16.
Prediction: Man United to win 2-1
