Mario Mandzukic has returned to the Atletico Madrid starting lineup for this evening's La Liga clash against Sevilla.

The Croatian has recovered from a broken nose and is expected to wear a protective face mask.

There are also starts for Saul Niguez and Arda Turan in the midfield, while Cristian Ansaldi returns to the defence.

Meanwhile, Carlos Bacca leads the attack for the visitors, who will be looking to extend their winning run in the league to five matches.

Atletico Madrid: Moya, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Ansaldi, Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Arda, Saul, Mandzukic

Sevilla: Beto, Diogo, Pareja, Carriço, Kolo, Tremoulinas, Aleix Vidal, Krychowiak, Mbia, Vitolo, Bacca
