Sevilla seek the spoils to keep pace at the top

After Real Madrid and FC Barcelona both claimed maximum points on Saturday, Sampaoli's troops simply have to overcome Alaves if they're to keep their aspirations intact at the LaLiga Santander summit.

Team News:

- D. Alaves: Ruben Sobrino and Einar Galilea (both injured); Alexis and Daniel Torres (both suspended)

- Sevilla FC: Benoit Tremoulinas and Michael Krohn-Dehli (both injured); Samir Nasri (suspended)

Match Facts:

 Alaves (11th, 33 pts):

- The Basques have only succumbed to defeat once against the Sevillians at Mendizorroza in the league. The sides' six LaLiga Santander meetings in Vitoria have served up four home wins, a draw and a solitary Sevilla triumph.

- Alaves hold the unenviable record of being the division's least prolific scorers on their own patch and indeed have collected more points on their travels this term than they have on home turf.

Sevilla (3rd, 55 pts):

- Jorge Sampaoli's charges have won each of their last four outings in an impressive streak which has seen the Andalusians emerge victorious in nine of their last 11 league fixtures. This stunning run of form has propelled Sevilla right into the thick of the LaLiga Santander title battle.

- The visitors have taken the spoils in five of their last six LaLiga Santander away assignments, with the only reverse in this sequence coming in a 3-1 defeat at RCD Espanyol.
