La Liga resumes today after a 10-day international break as Sevilla welcomes Elche to the Ramon Sanchez Stadium at Pizjuan this Friday. Sevilla, after bouncing back from a double defeat, including a 3-2 loss to Athletic Club in the opening game of the season, the former Europa League winners will be seeking to restore their home confidence as they play Elche tonight.
Softfootball has gathered the home side’s starting lineup ahead of tonight’s game against Elche, with former Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta getting his first start for Rojiblancos tonight. Azpilicueta, who was with Atlético Madrid last season, will bring much-deserved experience to Sevilla’s defence line, seeing that the club has conceded five goals in their last three games this season.
Here is the full starting XI as released on Sevilla’s official X handle:

Meanwhile, the visitors, Elche, have released their starting XI, with coach Eder Sarabia Armesto giving Portuguese striker Andre Silva his first start of the season. The Spanish side has been a hard nut to crack lately this season, having played a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid and beaten Levante 2-0 before the break.

Currently, Elche are in the seventh position with five points, having stayed unbeaten in their last three games; however, Sevilla are placed 12th with three points. Either Elche or Sevilla would get to take a new position tonight after 90 minutes.
