FC Sevilla have changed five positions compared to the 3-1 home win in the Europa League against Dinamo Zagreb: Augustinsson, Joan Jordán, Corona, Delaney and Rafa Mir replace Rekik, Acuña (neither in the squad), Rakitić, Gómez and Munir (all three banks).
1:45 p.m
At Espanyol, there is a change in the starting line-up after the 2-2 draw with FC Barcelona: Óscar Gil starts in place of Aleix Vidal (bench).
1:30 p.m
After three league games without a win, the Andalusians scored again three times in the home game against Elche nine days ago in a 2-0 win. After 24 games played in the league, FC Sevilla has a strong record with 50 points. In the event of a win today, the Lopetegui team would only be four points from the top of the table.

FC Sevilla may have had somewhat easier tasks to solve in the league in the new year. Coach Lopetegui’s men lived up to their position as favorites away at Cádiz FC and at home against Getafe FC with two 1-0 wins. This was followed by three draws in a row for the Sevillistas at FC Valencia (1-1), at home after a 0-2 deficit against Celta Vigo (2-2) and at Osasuna (0-0).
13:13
Espanyol did not get anything countable from the subsequent league games at home against current third-placed Real Betis (1: 4) and at Athletic Bilbao (1: 2), which is currently eighth. A week ago, coach Moreno’s team faced FC Barcelona in a city duel at home. A late goal from Luuk de Jong to level the scores 2-2 denied the Blanquiazules a three-pointer against FCB.
13:10
Even the fifth league game in 2022 did not bring a win for Espanyol Barcelona. However, the game plan for the newcomers these days also includes a hefty program. Accordingly, the weak point haul in mid-January from the home game against Elche (1:2) and from the away game at FC Cádiz (2:2) is annoying for the Pericos.
12:59 p.m
Have a nice Sunday afternoon and a warm welcome to the 25th matchday of the Primera División. Fourteenth-placed Espanyol Barcelona welcomes FC Sevilla, who are second in the table. The game will kick off at 2 p.m. in the RCDE Stadium.
