Real Madrid visit Sevilla which turns out to be a clash between the two of the leading trio in La Liga. Real Madrid have won four of their last five games, in comparison to Sevilla who have won only once, and drawn thrice.
Sevilla were hovering below Los Blancos before the spell of the last five games, which gave Barcelona the chance to take their place. Los Blancos are comfortably leading at the top, whereas Sevilla look to become fading contenders.
Team News
Casemiro earned his tenth yellow card of the season against Getafe last weekend and will miss out due to suspension. Isco may have recovered from a back problem to fill out the bench but Eden Hazard’s involvement is in doubt after undergoing surgery on his troublesome ankle in March.

4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Line Up Vs Sevilla
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will start in goal, with Eder Militao and David Alaba to form a partnership at the centre of the backline.
Dani Carvajal’s recent injury woes and the huge effort he put into Tuesday night’s chaotic Champions League tie will make Carlo Ancelotti think about using Lucas Vasquez in his place. Ferland Mendy will be on the opposite flank in the Left-back position.
Midfield
With Casemiro sidelined due to suspension, Eduardo Camavinga who is still just 19 years old, will see more playtime in the central defensive midfield position, along with Valverde who will come off the bench. Toni Kroos was taken off early in the last game and will look to start this time.
Attack
Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior take the right-wing, and left-wing positions, respectively. Karim Benzema will lead the attack against Sevilla. He has already shown his class in the UEFA champions league, being a nightmare for most defenders, but has only put one behind the net in the last ten games in La Liga.
