All the major top European Leagues have finally been completed or cancelled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, which gives way for the resumption of the Europa League.
UEFA's second-tier club competition returns with last 16 ties set for today and tomorrow.

Fixtures of the Round of 16.

Manchester United v LASK (5-0 first leg)

Basel v Eintracht Frankfurt (3-0 first leg)
WOLVES v Olympiakos (1-1 first leg)

Favourites to lift the trophy:
Manchester United
Manchester United are strong favourites to win the trophy for the second time in four years. They have almost qualified to the next stage after thumping Austrian side LASK 5-0 away from home in March.

Two frightening statistics are that the Red Devils have only lost once in their past 22 games in all competitions and scored 21 goals in the competition, more than any other team.
Sevilla

The pedigree of the Spanish outfit needs no introduction as they won the cup three times on the bounce between 2014 to 2017. They topped Group A in the group stage with 15 points (5wins, 1 loss).
Inter Milan

Inter Milan are another club tipped to go all the way. Antonio Conte's side will enter the competition on the back of their best Serie A season since 2010-11 as they finished second, a point behind champions Juventus.
The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the tournament will be played in Germany between 10 and 21 August.
