Real Madrid vs. Sevilla: Predicted Los Nervionenses XI for La Liga clash

Barcelona-linked Bade to start? How Sevilla could line up against Real Madrid

Sevilla will be without the services of five players through injury for Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Madrid.

Djibril Sow, Adria Pedrosa, Chidera Ejuke, Rafa Mir and Tanguy Nianzou will all be absent for Los Nervionenses, who will be bidding to secure their first away La Liga victory over Los Blancos since 2008.

Isaac Romero is set to return to the starting lineup as the centre-forward, while there will be a spot in the final third of the field for Dodi Lukebakio, who has seven league goals to his name during an impressive season.

Manu Bueno was on the scoresheet against Celta Vigo last time out, with Sevilla running out 1-0 winners, and he will continue in central midfield, with the 20-year-old making a big impression in his first appearance of the campaign.

Jesus Navas featured as a right-sided attacker against Celta, and that is again expected to be the case here, with Gonzalo Montiel set to operate as the right-back for the visitors.

Loic Bade is believed to be on the radar of a number of clubs, including Barcelona, and there will be another appearance in the middle of the defence for the Frenchman.

Saul Niguez, meanwhile, is in line to feature in central midfield, with the on-loan Atletico Madrid star providing three assists in seven appearances for Garcia Pimienta's side this term.

Sevilla possible starting lineup: Fernandez; Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Salas; Bueno, Agoume, Saul; Navas, Romero, Lukebakio
