Sevilla have defensive injury woes with Marcao and Karim Rekik both out, which makes the departure of Jules Kounde to Barcelona all the more painful. They will also be without Jesus Corona and Adnan Januzaj, who are both nursing injuries.

Neither side have any suspensions they need to worry about.
