Sevilla Team News & Form
Sevilla come into this match off the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Barcelona, their fourth defeat of the campaign already. The home side already find themselves four points behind Atletico Madrid in the final Champions League qualifying position, with the pressure on head coach Berizzo to start delivering results. Sevilla have a whole host of talented players to call upon, with Wissam Ben Yedder, Steven N’Zonzi and Ever Benega among their most recognisable players. Elsewhere, Spanish duo Nolito and Jesus Navas will be looking to make more of an impression following their arrival from Manchester City over the summer.

Two goals from Iago Aspas helped Celta Vigo to a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao last time around, with Juan Carlos Unzué and his players undoubtedly hoping to keep up their unbeaten run when they travel to Sevilla this weekend. Aspas and strike partner Maxi Gomez have eleven La Liga goals between them so far, with the duo expected to line up in attack once again for the visitors. Elsewhere, young midfielder Emre Mor could also feature, with the Borussia Dortmund man having scored one goal in five matches following his arrival during the summer transfer window.

The two teams have 19 times in the past, with Sevilla having on nine of such matches, whilst drawing four times in the process. Sevilla recorded a narrow 2-1 win at home last season, having already beaten Celta 3-1 on the road.
