Preview: Sevilla vs. Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid travel to Sevilla on Sunday, looking to consolidate their place in the top three in La Liga.

Diego Simeone's side are currently 11 points clear of fourth-placed Real Sociedad after thrashing Granada 5-0 last weekend.

The hosts have won three of their last six matches. They will be seeking three points to keep up their faint hopes of catching Valencia, who occupy the final Europa League qualification place.

Sevilla let a two-goal lead slip away to local rivals Real Betis on Monday, when Nosa Igiebor's stoppage-time leveller secured a 3-3 draw.

Simeone could opt for the same XI that saw off Granada. Arda Turan is likely to miss out for Atletico as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

Sevilla coach Unai Emery will have to make at least one change to his side, with Gary Medel suspended after picking up a red card against Betis. Diego Perotti could replace him in the midfield.
