Juventus surprise with Moise Kean and Samuel Iling-Junior joining Angel Di Maria for the Europa League semi-final trip to Sevilla, who have Lucas Ocampos back with Youssef En-Nesyri.

It kicks off at the Sanchez-Pizjuan at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Bayer Leverkusen-Roma and Basel-Fiorentina on the LIVEBLOG.

Federico Gatti’s header snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw in Turin, so because the away goals rule has abolished, that means it’s winner takes all in Seville.

Paul Pogba has joined Mattia De Sciglio, Leonardo Bonucci and Kaio Jorge on the absentee list, but the big surprise is upfront, where Kean is chosen as partner to Di Maria rather than Dusan Vlahovic or Arkadiusz Milik.

Federico Chiesa is also on the bench and Matias Soule is at the Under-20 World Cup, but Gleison Bremer returns after missing the first match.

The big surprise is Next Gen player Samuel Iling-Junior in place of Filip Kostic.

Sevilla had been leading for much of the first leg and repeatedly threatened to get another goal, so they will be fired up on their home turf.

There is also a boost with the return of ex-Milan winger Suso to the squad, though Tanguy Nianziou, Joan Jordan, Marcao and cup-tied Pape Gueye are still out.

Ocampos limped off with a muscular problem in the first leg, but he is back in the starting XI.

Sevilla: Bounou; Jesus Navas, Badé, Gudelj, Acuña; Fernando, Torres, Rakitic; Ocampos, Bryan Gil; En-Nesyri

Juventus: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Iling-Junior; Di Maria; Kean
