Team News
Atletico
Sevilla
- Atleti continued their fine run with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Granada last weekend to ensure no matter what happens this weekend, they will go into next week's Madrid derby ahead of Real in the table.
- They will, however, want to maintain their five-point advantage over their city rivals and maintain their 100% record at the Calderon in all competitions this year when Sevilla visit on Sunday.
- Mario Suarez is the only absentee for Atleti as he is suspended and Diego Simeone will recall the eight first-team regulars he rested for the 1-0 win over Hapoel Tel-Aviv in midweek.
- Sevilla will be on a high after dismantling Betis 5-1 last weekend, but that victory came at a cost as top-scorer Alvaro Negredo has been ruled out for up to three weeks with a muscle injury.
- Gary Medel is also suspended so there are likely to be rare starts for Jose Campaña and Baba Diawara.
- Jose Antonio Reyes will definitely retain his place after a man-of-the-match performance last weekend as he returns to the Calderon for the first time since leaving Atleti in Jnauary.
