Sevilla
The home side are in impressive form coming into this contest, and they have managed to win five of their last six matches across all competitions.
They will be firm favourites to pick up all three points, and it remains to be seen whether the home side can extend their impressive run of form against Getafe with the win here.
They are so important during the tough moments, which we’ll have tomorrow – they give us energy. They have been able to train for this game all week. We had our first training session to prepare for it today – with nine players. But tomorrow we have the same objective as always – to beat a tough opponent. Quique had a tough start but now the team have a clear style – they know how to attack and defend under him and they have good players to boot.
Julen Lopetegui on Fans
I don’t want to speak about this because it’s not something we control. We have to find the right response against this challenge. We need to think positively and in what we can control which is our response against the task. We are trying to generate excitement and ambition in every match. Now we have a tough league match and we need to give it everything.
Julen Lopetegui is staying positive
He has been working knowing that in any moment he could be our starter. That moment has come, but he has always been an option for us. Sometimes you play and other times you don’t, but beyond the game there is an important job – the day-to-day work at the club.
