EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (Reuters) - PSV Eindhoven would have to produce their best form of the year if they are to turn around a three-goal deficit against Sevilla in the Europa League on Thursday, coach Ruud van Nistelrooy warned on the eve of their second leg match.

PSV were beaten 3-0 in Spain in the first leg of their knockout stage playoff last week and have a mountain to climb in the return at the Philips Stadium if they are to get themselves back into contention.
