    The main game in Spain is the encounter between Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, which gets under way at 19:30 BST.

    Diego Simeone's side started the season with a 1-0 win over promoted Las Palmas last weekend, and will join early pace-setters Celta Vigo and Barcelona in six points at the top of the table with a win. Sevilla, last season's Europa League winners, opened with a 0-0 draw at Malaga.

    On the field, Roma were unimpressive as they opened their season with a 1-1 draw at Verona last weekend. Coach Rudi Garcia has made several signings during the summer - taking Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny and Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko on loan - but needed an equaliser from Alessandro Florenzi to secure a point last weekend.

    Roma's troubles have been largely off the field, with the club's Ultras planning a silent protest this evening in response to a police decision to introduce new segregation measures at the Curva Sud end of the Stadio Olimpico.

    Club director Mauro Baldissoni has angered the ultras further by suggesting that anyone taking part in the protest was essentially failing to fulfil their role as a supporter.

    These are testing times for Juventus. Last season's Champions League finalists lost Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez and Arturo Vidal over the summer, and started their Serie A title defence with a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Udinese last weekend. How will they respond this evening?

    They were the top two in Serie A last season. They are expected to be there again this time around. Yet life is far from straightforward this season for Roma or for defending champions Juventus as they prepare to meet at the Stadio Olimpico.
