Manchester United
Still coping without long-term absentees Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen, Man United have also been dealt a blow with Marcel Sabitzer - who is absent from the squad - but Casemiro has seemingly shaken off a scare from the Liverpool loss.
The Brazilian will be assessed ahead of kickoff alongside Victor Lindelof, who missed Sunday's defeat with a minor unspecified problem, while Ten Hag is refusing to put a timeframe on Anthony Martial's recovery as he battles a hip problem.
A refresh should certainly be in order after such a humbling evening against Liverpool, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia potentially coming into the backline, especially with Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane emerging as doubts before kickoff at the weekend.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Martinez, Malacia; Fred, McTominay; Sancho, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
Real Betis
Meanwhile, Betis boss Pellegrini recently suffered a devastating blow with key attacker Nabil Fekir, as the Frenchman - who was recently linked with Man United - has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Midfielder Juan Cruz is also expected to miss out after exacerbating an existing muscular problem, but on a brighter note, Sergio Canales trained on Monday after missing the draw with Real Madrid with a quadriceps issue.
No fewer than four Real Betis players are walking a tightrope here, as Claudio Bravo, German Pezzella, Luiz Felipe and Aitor Ruibal will miss the second leg if they are cautioned at Old Trafford.
Real Betis possible starting lineup:
Bravo; Sabaly, Felipe, Pezzella, Miranda; Carvalho, Rodriguez; Canales, Rodri, Perez; Iglesias
Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Real Betis
