    What a difference a week makes.

    After Anderlecht's late equaliser in the first leg which Manchester United dominated, the supporters were fretting about that result and Sunday's visit of Premier League leaders and bogey side Chelsea.

    Jose Mourinho gave star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic a rest against his old side and the decision came up trumps with his current crop emerging victorious 2-0.

    Full of confidence, the Red Devils will be hoping to finish the job off tonight.

    Michael Devlin: Five legitimate goal scorers in United's starting eleven. Could be fun.

    Lyon and Besiktas come face to face tonight after being given suspended bans from European competition following crowd trouble that marred the first leg in France on 13 April.

    The bans are suspended for two years and both clubs have also been fined 100,000 euros (£83,800).

    The tie at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, which ended 2-1 to Lyon, kicked off 45 minutes late.

    There could be plenty of drama elsewhere in the Europa League tonight, starting in Belgium as Genk host Celta Vigo. 

    Genk trail 3-2 after the first leg but got the crucial away goals, so Celta know they can ill afford to sit back and potect their lead.

    That's not the case for Ajax, though. The Dutch team are in Germany to take on Schalke but won the first leg 2-0 and will fancy their chances of progressing.

    This is a competition I believe Manchester United can win and obviously Jose Mourinho thinks so too after resting Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Chelsea but he is back in the side tonight.
