    Atletico suffered defeat at Celta Vigo two weeks ago today, a loss which has left them with a mountain to climb if they are to reel in Real Madrid in this title race.

    A 3-0 win against Almeria last week at least returned Diego Simeone's side to league form, though they were beaten again in the Champions League in midweek as Bayer Leverkusen secured a 1-0 lead to take to the Vicente Calderon on 17 March.

  3. Team newspublished at 17:39 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone appears to pay Sevilla some respect with what looks likely to be a 4-3-2-1 formation. Both Mario Mandzukic and Fernando Torres are left on the bench with Antoine Griezmann leading the line solo.

    Sevilla had Europa League commitments on Thursday but keep their front six unchanged. There is movement in the back four though as Coke, Fernando Navarro and Alejandro Arribas come in.

    Sevilla XI: Sergio Rico, Coke, Arribas, Kolo, F. Navarro, Iborra, Krychowiak, A. Vidal, Banega, Vitolo, Bacca.

    Atletico Madrid XI: Moya; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Gamez, Gabi, Tiago, Mario, Raul Garcia, Arda, Griezmann.

    Seville is often referred to as the 'frying pan of Spain' as to put it mildly, it gets hot there.

    Located in the country's south-west with no sea breeze, take a bucket of deodorant if ever you visit.

    Today it is expected to reach close to 20C - not bad for March - but how much heat will the home side face against the league champions?

    When the sides met earlier in the season Atletico ran out 4-0 winners. Teams next...

    Zlatan knows a good thing when he sees one and if he were sat at home now, laptop on and a packet of crisps on the go, he would be all over our live text I'm sure.

    We will bring you every blow hammered out as Sevilla host Atletico Madrid and later, Real Madrid meet Villarreal.

    Chuck in the very latest scores from Monaco against Paris St-Germain- who can go top in France - and Napoli's trip to Torino in Italy and there will be plenty coming your way.

    Zlatan is suspended today by the way so if you are reading this pal, no going back for a second bag.

    Fairly straight forward in theory then but between now and the season finale on 23 May, inevitable twists and turns await.

    With four teams in La Liga's top six facing off against one another today, now seems as good a time as any for the definitive drama to take place.

    Barcelona made straight-forward work of Granada on Saturday. They will wake from their siesta today to see if their title rivals have it as easy...
