Hello and welcome to live coverage of the LaLiga meeting between Sevilla and Real Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium!
Madrid have struggled for results recently and questions are starting to be asked of Zinedine Zidane as his side are without a win in the league since the end of October. They've won just one of their previous five outings in all competitions (D1 L3), losing the last two. They face their former manager, Julen Lopetegui, whose side have lost just one of their last six (W5), though that loss was in their most recent match against Chelsea in the Champions League.
SEVILLA STARTING XI (4-3-3): Yassine Bounou; Jesus Navas, Jules Kounde, Diego Carlos, Aleix Vidal; Joan Jordan, Fernando, Ivan Rakitic; Munir El Haddadi, Luuk de Jong, Lucas Ocampos.
SEVILLA SUBS: Oussama Idrissi, Oscar Rodriguez, Karim Rekik, Javi Diaz, Sergi Gomez, Oliver Torres, Franco Vazquez, Suso, Nemanja Gudelj, Alfonso Pastor, Carlos Fernandez, Youssef En-Nesyri.
REAL MADRID STARTING XI (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Ferland Mendy; Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos; Rodrygo, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior.
REAL MADRID SUBS: Marcelo, Andriy Lunin, Alvaro Odriozola, Sergio Arribas, Marco Asensio, Isco, Eder Militao, Martin Odegaard, Diego Altube.
The teams are coming out onto the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Sevilla didn't trouble Courtois in the first half and Lopetegui will want to see more of an attacking threat from his side when they come back out. As for Madrid, Zidane can take positives out of their performance, but he'll want them to be much more clinical in the second half.
Madrid end a run of three games without a win in the league and move up to third in the table. They've got the Madrid derby next time out in the league, but before that is a big game against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League. Sevilla stay in fifth, losing their second game in the bounce in all competitions. They're also in action in the Champions League this week, facing Rennes on Tuesday.
