Diego Pablo Simeone and Unai Emery, two of the most technical managers, will square off on Liga BBVA matchday six. The two champions, the Madrid side of La Liga and the Andalusians of the UEFA Europa League, will be battling to maintain their unbeaten records in the Spanish topflight.
Team news
Vitolo and Vicente Iborra are back in the squad for the visitors, while José Antonio Reyes and Fernando Navarro are out. For Atlético, Mario Mandžukić returns to the fold having missed the last two matches for an operation on his broken nose.
Views from the dugout
Simeone highlighted the hard work of his counterpart in Sevilla's dugout: "We've seen him compete in Valencia, I was very impressed with their third place and he kept it up for three consecutive years. At Sevilla he has become competitive with time".
Despite the form of Sevilla, Unai Emery does not see his team as favourites: "That doesn’t mean we’re not raring to go, the table is very circumstantial. We know they are bigger than us, but we will fight to be at the top for as long as possible but without forgetting who we are."
