High-flying Sevilla welcome a struggling Getafe side to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday, hoping to keep up the push for a top-four finish.
With 12 wins and 39 points after 20 games, the Rojiblancos are currently fourth in the standings, just a point adrift of defending La Liga champions Real Madrid.
Since losing 2-0 to runaway leaders Atletico Madrid, Julen Lopetegui's side have won their last six games in all competitions, including three in the league.
They are the form team right now, and the Europa League champions are enjoying their best period under the Spaniard's tutelage.

The Azulones, meanwhile, have been going through a rocky period lately.
Their last 10 games have produced only four wins including a humiliating loss to second-division side Cordoba in the Copa del Rey. They have also suffered a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Athletic Bilbao.
