Match Facts:
Sporting (18th, 29 pts): - The end of the season is drawing ever closer and the need for three points is growing greater accordingly. The Asturians go into this one following a draw with UD Las Palmas, which kept them in the relegation zone while making things even tighter down at the bottom.
- Jony, a key cog in Abelardo's system, scored against the Canary Islanders and has been influential all season for Sporting. Sevilla will have to keep a close eye on him.
Sevilla (7th, 49 pts): - The Andalusians travel to Gijon with a clear objective: to finally chalk up their first away win of the season on the domestic stage. Considering their excellent showings at the Sanchez-Pizjuan throughout the campaign, their struggles on the road remain a mystery.
- Curro Sanchez has been in the headlines for Sevilla in the last few days. The 20-year-old academy graduate made his LaLiga debut for the club against RC Deportivo on what was a very special occasion for a player who looks to have a bright future indeed.
Don't leave Gijon without... sampling fabada. One of the staples of Asturian cuisine, this delicious bean stew is often made with pixin, as monkfish is known locally.
