Real Madrid will aim to post a fifth straight win in all competitions when they resume their La Liga campaign with a trip to Sevilla on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos are currently top of the table, picking up 24 points from their opening nine matches, while Sevilla sit down in 14th position, collecting only eight points from as many games in 2023-24.
Sevilla will have a new face in the dug-out this weekend, with Diego Alonso being confirmed as the team’s new head coach on a contract until the end of the campaign.
The 48-year-old has replaced Jose Luis Mendilibar, who was relieved of his duties earlier this month despite leading the team to Europa League success last season.
Sevilla, who finished down in 12th position in La Liga last term, now have two huge back-to-back matches at home against Real Madrid and Arsenal in the league and Champions League respectively.
Real Madrid, according to the league table at least, have been the best side in La Liga so far this season, winning eight and losing one of their nine matches to collect 24 points.
Real Madrid will head to Portugal in the Champions League next week to face Braga before the small matter of a trip to Barcelona on October 28 for El Clasico.
Los Blancos will not be looking past Sevilla for the moment, though, as they bid to record a fifth straight La Liga victory over Los Nervionenses.
