Vinicius Junior cuts inside from the left, squeezing between Jesus Navas and Suso to enter the penalty area - but he sends his shot well over the bar.

Sevilla are under pressure here but they're somehow managing to keep Real at bay for now.

Karim Benzema meets a cross with his head but it's too high for him and he can't send it towards goal.

It's been a good response from Real.

Casemiro, who just before that Sevilla opener picked up the game's first booking, tries his luck from distance but Sevilla keeper Yassine Bounou is equal to it.

Karim Benzema has been involved in 15 goals in 19 games against Sevilla in La Liga, scoring seven goals and making eight assists.

Only against Sevilla and Almeria (four goals and five assists) has Benzema provided more assists than he’s scored goals in the competition.

He's been denied one tonight but you wouldn't bet against him getting another...

Good game so far, with both sides displaying attacking intent.

Sevilla look very confident in possession but Real are frighteningly quick on the counter...

Real are playing much, much better now after Sevilla's positive start.

Alvaro Odriozola is getting plenty of joy down the right and almost gets in again - but he's unable to deliver a cross before the ball crosses the byline.

No goal!

Alvaro Odriozola was marginally offside in the build-up and it's as you were.

Hang on, we've got a VAR check...

While Eden Hazard is on the bench tonight, Sergio Ramos is absent for Real.

The hosts do however also have the likes of Isco, Marco Asensio and Rodrygo waiting on the bench if they need to get out of trouble.

Sevilla are enjoying a good spell on the ball here.

The visitors patiently work the ball outside the Real box and there's no escape for Zinedine Zidane's men at the minute.

Alejandro Gomez does well to beat a man before continuing his run towards goal, but Eder Militao is absolutely rapid and gets back quickly to regain possession. Good defending.

Real look to hit Sevilla on the counter as Vinicius Junior storms down the left flank.

The Brazilian turns smartly past Diego Carlos but he's eventually robbed of the ball in the box.

Real Madrid have won their last four La Liga games against Sevilla and have kept a clean sheet in three of those games.

Away we go!

On paper, it's simple for Real Madrid.

Win tonight, and with three games remaining the title would be in their hands.

But they're sure to face a stern test from Sevilla this evening.

There are three changes for Real Madrid from the side knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea in midweek, as Alvaro Odriozola, Marcelo and Federico Valverde replace Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy and Eden Hazard.

There's just one change for Sevilla from their defeat by Athletic Bilbao on Monday. Joan Jordan comes in for Youssef En-Nesyri.

Real Madrid: Courtois, Odriozola, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.

Sevilla: Bounou, Navas, Kounde, Carlos, Acuna, Rakitic, Fernando, Jordan, Suso, Ocampos, Gomez.

Barcelona's point against leaders Atletico yesterday was enough to move Ronald Koeman's side up to second place, above Real Madrid.

Real's superior head-to-head record against Atletico means Zinedine Zidane's men will go top with a win tonight.

For Sevilla, it's all about staying in touch with the top three - and they could be within four points of Atletico with victory.

Welcome to part two of La Liga's big weekend!
