Real Madrid will continue their march towards the La Liga title on Sunday night with a home match against a struggling Sevilla side.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team are now six points ahead of Girona at the top and are the clear favourites to snatch back the title from Barcelona, but they cannot take their foot off the gas just yet. The recent draw with Rayo Vallecano was a reminder this is not yet a vintage Blancos team and the door has not fully closed their rivals just yet.
Sevilla are having a poor season, sitting down in 15th and just seven points above the bottom three. They have won two and drawn two of their last four La Liga games, though, beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 recently. There are some signs of stability but they will find it tough at the Bernabeu.
