Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Sevilla. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

That would have been harsh on Sevilla who had been on top in the opening 10 minutes of this match. With Benzema on the pitch, Real Madrid always have a chance, as they showed there.

Goal disallowed! Hold on! The officials have taken a second look at the goal and they have disallowed it. That wasn't very clear at all. The TV camera didn't show how they restarted the game.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 1 (12 mins - Karim Benzema) Sevilla 0. Against the run of play, Real Madrid have taken the lead! Odriozola's cross to the back post was a good one and Benzema somehow managed to squeeze his header in at the back post with Bono unable to keep it out of his net!

Sevilla come into this match on the back of a very disappointing defeat at home to Athletic Club. That result probably means Lopetegui’s side are now outsiders in the title race.

Real Madrid offered very little at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. They looked like a very tired group of players. How will they fare here with only three days to recover?

This is a slightly unusual formation and system from Lopetegui this evening. Sevilla don't appear to be playing with a recognised centre forward with En-Nesyri on the bench.

Lopetegui hasn't been able to beat Real Madrid since he was sacked by the capital club back in 2018. This will be his fourth attempt. Sevilla have to prove they can cut it in the big games.

Vinicius chance! The Brazilian winger had the ball at his feet inside the Sevilla penalty area, but he tried a bit too much and was eventually tackled by Acuna. No penalty there.

What sort of match will we get this evening? Will Real Madrid bounce back following their defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League? Sevilla will pose a real threat to Los Blancos.

The match is under way! It's Real Madrid against Sevilla in this crunch La Liga fixture!

Okay, here we go. We are about to get under way in this crucial fixture. Kick off coming up shortly.

The two teams are in the tunnel at Valdebebas. Strange surroundings, but this is a huge match for both clubs.

Not long until kick off at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. What will tonight's match produce for us?

Sevilla can also re-enter the title race with a win of their own this evening. They would be four points off top spot with three games left to play. Outsiders, but not cut adrift.

Real Madrid can go top of La Liga with a victory this evening after the goalless draw between title rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid yesterday played into their hands.
