Team News: Diego Simeone brings in Raul Garcia to replace Tiago

Garcia in for Atletico

Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid have the chance to top the La Liga table should they beat Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon tonight.

The hosts have brought in midfielder Raul Garcia for the clash, who replaces Tiago who is unavailable, while the rest of the starting lineup is as expected.

Sevilla manager Unai Emery, meanwhile, has opted to leave Kevin Gameiro on the substitutes bench, with Carlos Bacca leading the forward line.

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Luis; Gabi, Koke, Garcia; Turan, Costa, Villa,

Sevilla: Beto; Coke, Fazio, Pareja, Navarro; Iborra, Carrico; Rakitic, Vitolo, Moreno; Bacca
