Sevilla suffered a big setback in the title race last time out, drawing 1-1 with Valencia having led, missing the chance to go within two points of leaders Real Madrid. Prior to that, Sevilla lost to Real Betis in the Copa del Rey following the resumption of the game a day after it had started. The original tie had to be postponed during the first half due to Joan Jordan being hit on the head by a plastic pole thrown from the crowd. Jordan was cleared fit to play earlier this week following a concussion, but he didn't play when the game did resume, and Sevilla bowed out of the Cup. Celta Vigo were also in action during the week, taking on Osasuna and coming out on top with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Hugo Mallo and Santi Mina. Before the Osasuna clash, Celta lost back-to-back games, losing to Real Sociedad in La Liga and Atletico Baleares in the Copa del Rey. Caudet's men could do with a consistent run of results to climb the table, but they are likely to come off second best here. 1:0
Erik Lamela remains out, as do Jesus Navas and Suso. Thomas Delaney is another absentee, while Karim Rekik is still a doubt. Jules Koundé is working his way back towards match fitness and could feature. Munir and Youssef El-Nesyri are away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Augusto Solaro, Ruben Blanco and Renato Tapia have all come through knocks. There are no further doubts for Celta Vigo, and their starting XI should be pretty predictable given Eduardo Caudet has made few rotations so far this season.
