On By Littum

The three-horse race for La Liga is very much back as Real Madrid will have the perfect chance to leapfrog arch-rivals Atletico and Barcelona to go top when they lock horns with Sevilla at the Bernabeu on Sunday.

Los Blancos, who are third in LaLiga, have shown moments of brilliance this season but will be keen to bounce back from a chaotic 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will need to tighten up defensively to avoid slip-ups against a Sevilla side creeping up the table.

Sevilla, currently 11th in the league, come into this match with a morale-boosting 1-0 win over RC Celta de Vigo. Although it wasn’t their most dominant performance, it was enough to grab three crucial points.

With their season struggling to find rhythm, Sevilla will look to capitalize on their trademark form and discipline to rattle Real Madrid’s ambitions.

The sports news looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the game, kick-off times and the latest lineup news.

Real Madrid vs. Sevilla predicted lineups, team news

Real Madrid’s squad navigates the growing list of injuries and icing on the cake, Vincius Jr. returned in the last game only to see a yellow leave him out of the Sevilla clash.

Your Militao and Dani Carvajal remain on the sidelines with long-term cruciate ligament injuries. David Alaba offers a glimmer of hope as he nears full fitness. But with recent injuries to Ferland Mendy and Kylian Mbappe it looks like a dull festive period for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid predicted formation (4-3-2-1, right to left): Courtois (GK) – Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, F Garcia – Valverde, Bellingham, Modric – Rodrygo, Diaz – Guler

Damaged: Alaba, Militao, Carvajal, Camavinga, Mendy, Mbappe
Suspended: Vinicius

Sevilla also have their share of absentees, with Adria Pedrosa and Chidera Ejuke both ruled out until the end of December due to muscle and hamstring problems.

Djibril So and Tanguy Nianzou are also unavailable, pushing the Andalusians to dig deep into their bench for reinforcements.

Sevilla predicted line-up (4-3-3, right to left): Fernandez (GK) — Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Salas — Bueno, Agoume, Saul — Navas, Iheanacho, Lukebakio.

Damaged: Pedrosa, Ejuke, So, Nianzou
