United have made four changes from the starting line-up on the weekend with Hanna Lundvist, Melvine Malard and Dominique Janssen coming in. Anna Sanberg is not involved after sustaining an injury in the first leg."
"Man Utd: Tullis-Joyce, Le Tissier, Lundkvist, Park, Malard, Naalsund, Janssen, Zigiotti, Miyazawa, Turner, Schuller. Bench: Middleton-Patel, Rendell, George, Anderson, Awujo, Wangerheim Atletico, meanwhile, make two changes with Otermin and Gio drop to the bench from their draw at the weekend.

"The English club have the upper hand in this tie as they won the first leg 3-0 and now host the second to seal their spot in the quarter-finals. Atletico will have to put in a perfect performance to try and wrestle a last eight spot back from United. Last week they did not take their chances when they had them but if they do this evening they could turn it around."
