    It's third versus first today as Barcelona welcome leaders Atletico Madrid, while second plays fourth on Sunday as Real Madrid face Sevilla.

    Atletico can move five points clear of Real and Barca with victory today, while a Barca win would take Ronald Koeman's men top and leave the door open for Real to move into pole position on Sunday due to their superior head-to-head record.

    Sevilla certainly aren't out of the picture yet, at six points behind Atletico.
