Confirmed: Real Madrid starting eleven to face Sevilla

Confirmed: Real Madrid starting eleven to face Sevilla Real Madrid will be hoping to keep up with league leaders Barcelona as they take on Sevilla tonight. The Spanish giants are coming on the back of a brilliant comeback win over AS Roma in midweek, with coach Jose Mourinho only making a few changes. Dean Huijsen returns to the fray in central defence, partnering Ibrahima Konate, which means Antonio Rudiger returns to the bench. There is one more change in the backline, with Denzel Dumfries making way for Federico Valverde while Marc Cucurella retains his place at left-back. Thibaut Courtois continues in goal. With Valverde starting in midfield, Mourinho has gone for Aurelien Tchouameni in a deeper midfield role. The Frenchman will be partnered by the more attacking midfield duo of Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler. In the attack, Vinicius Jr. will start serving his four-match suspension and is, therefore, not available to play against Sevilla. The Brazilian international will be replaced by his fellow compatriot Endrick, whose cameo helped Real Madrid secure the comeback win over AS Roma. Yan Diomande continues on the opposite flank, with Kylian Mbappe leading the Real Madrid frontline, hoping to extend his goalscoring tally.
