Wolves v Sevilla (20:00 BST)
Wolves
Image source, Getty ImagesWolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo says he is proud of the identity his side have developed over the past three years as they prepare for a first European quarter-final appearance in 48 years.
Wolves are three wins away from winning the Europa League.
It is an impressive rise for a side that had just finished 15th in the Championship when Nuno arrived in 2017.
"The foundations are strong," he said.
"I am very proud. Now I think we can see we have our own identity, which is based on strong foundations of respect and hard work.
"This is what we show against Sevilla - a good team, with a strong identity and committed to the challenge."
