A midweek match follows the big encounter from the weekend, and it’s curious what changes Lopetegui will bring to the starting XI. The same squad of 23 players was called up, which still excludes Munir. Will he go with De Jong or En-Nesyri?
Although having a very disappointing season, Valencia is always a difficult team to beat, as they’ve brought in caretaker manager Voro for the 7th time. Now practically safe from relegation, Los Che can use this game to see how their squad measures up to La Liga’s best of the rest. Will they prevent Sevilla from achieving their best ever point total in a season?
What’s going on with Munir? We haven’t seen him for a few weeks now, and he’s joint fourth in goals for us this season. Is there something going on between him and Lopetgui?
We might already have a purchase lined up too being this late in the season and we are trying to prevent injury. Who knows. All speculation. He can score goals and it is a shame he’s been shut out.
I’m hoping that Oscar and Oliver can be a supply line for En Nesyri but I’m also aware that this might not work at all. We’ve had a couple of days to work on a plan and it’s not much. It should put some more incentive for Jordan to take control.
