The Ramón Sanchéz-Pizjuán Stadium will welcome RC Celtra in one of the most thrilling encounters of Matchday 17 of the Liga BBVA. Sevilla, despite their 10-point lead over the Galician side, will be looking to boost their European dream against Eduardo ‘Toto' Berizzo’s side, who will want to put behind them the negative results of the final stretch of 2014 and continue the meteoric rise resulting from their brilliant start to the season.
Team news
Unai Emery starts the year without absences in his squad, unlike his counterpart Berizzo. The Argentine manager will be without three of his team's key men in Nolito, Augusto Fernández and Larrivey, all through suspension.
Views from the dressing room
The forward from Moaña, a product of the Celta academy, Iago Aspas, assessed the game that will see him go up against his old team-mates: "Both Sevilla and Celta will attempt to go a step further in this game in an attractive battle for a European spot at the end of the season".
Berizzo spoke of turning around his team's form and results starting from this encounter: "We need to turn things around. We’re going into the game off the back of a series of defeats that have knocked us out of shape, and who better than Sevilla. It will be an intense and hard-fought game".
