Real Madrid v Sevilla: Confirmed line-ups as Alonso seeks home comforts

Real Madrid will aim to avoid a third straight home defeat when they face Sevilla in LaLiga on Saturday.

Back-to-back home losses to Celta Vigo and Manchester City this month piled the pressure on Xabi Alonso, though recent away wins on the road at Alaves and at Talavera in the Copa del Rey alleviated some of it.

But Madrid will be desperate to right the ship at home and pull within one point of LaLiga leaders Barcelona.
