GOOD EVENING FROM MADRID
Welcome to our live coverage of the LaLiga clash between Real Madrid and Sevilla at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
It’s crunch time for Real, who were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea on Wednesday and are facing the prospect of finishing the season without any silverware.
Tonight’s clash with the Sevillians is of immense importance as a victory would see Los Blancos tying with Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane will definitely be without Lucas Vazquez, Dani Carvajal and Raphael Varane due to a ligament, muscle and leg injury respectively.
Zidane is also facing the prospect of missing Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior and captain Sergio Ramos as all three didn’t train with the rest of the team on Friday.
Eden Hazard received immense criticism for his hapless performance against Chelsea as well as his controversial attitude after the whistle but could still be included in the starting line-up.
Sevilla have a lot to fight for tonight as they are only seven points away from the top of the summit and are set to put a lot of hurdles in Real’s way.
Manager Julen Lopetegui is expected to have Joan Jordan back into the fold as the midfielder should have shaken off a toe injury.
Jules Kounde and Youssef En-Nesyri are also expected to overcome some minor issues of their own and start for Lopetegui’s side
