Preview: Atletico Madrid vs. Sevilla

Sports Mole previews Atletico Madrid's La Liga match against Sevilla on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid will be looking to put pressure on Barcelona at the top of La Liga when they face Sevilla on Sunday.

Diego Simeone's side sit second in the table on goal difference behind Barca after the two sides played out a goalless draw last weekend.

Sevilla have moved to within two points of sixth-placed Real Sociedad after going their last six games unbeaten. Unai Emery's side picked up their second draw in that run against Elche last Saturday.

The hosts come into this weekend's game off the back of a 2-0 victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey, which secured their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Simeone has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game and could name the same side that drew against Barcelona.

Sevilla defender Diogo Figueiras is suspended while Nicolas Pareja, Diego Perotti and Cicinho are also out.
