Sevilla v Valencia live, team news as Gayà returns and Pepelu starts in defence | OneFootball

Sevilla host Valencia at the Sánchez Pizjuán with the sides arriving in contrasting form and key selection calls in focus.

According to AS, Tebas has praised Sevilla’s effort in their economic restructuring, backing Del Nido Carrasco despite ongoing salary cap issues.

Valencia’s start has been grim, with one point from four matches and a first win badly needed to move off the bottom. Sevilla opened with two straight victories, then followed up with a defeat and a draw, and remain near the top.

Corberán fields the XI he had planned through the week. Captain Gayà returns to the line-up, with Tárrega and Sato also back. Otorbi keeps his place wide, Danjuma and Dieng feature again, and Pepelu starts at centre-back alongside Tárrega. Harvey Elliott is held for the second half as the Englishman continues to adapt to Spain’s heat.

For Sevilla, Isaac and Stassin lead the line. The hosts start with Vlachodimos, Juan Iglesias, Castrón, Kike Salas, Suazo, Sierra, Agoumé, Fofana, Félix, Isaac and Stassin.

Busquets Ferrer is the match referee, with Del Cerro Grande on VAR.

With three points today Sevilla would move level on points with Alavés, who sit in second place.
