Levante UD face a tough clash on Liga BBVA matchday 11 when they visit the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán to take on Sevilla FC. The side managed by Unai Emery are still undefeated in their stadium, where they have recorded one draw and four wins so the challenge faced by the team from Valencia takes on even greater importance. For their part, the Granotas, have just one victory and two draws as a visitor in the competition, but they will be looking to prolong their form under the orders of Lucas Alcaraz.

Team news

The side from Nervión will be without Stéphane M'Bia, who is suspended, and the injured Vicente Iborra. Meanwhile, the Valencian team's manager has the injuries of Héctor Rodas and Rafael Martins to deal with, as neither player will take part in the game.

Views from the dugout

Unai Emery, the home coach, praised the defensive work of Levante and stated in a press conference that: "I'm considering playing with two forwards at the start or maybe with one, it depends. What we need is to find ways in against Levante's solid and well-structured defence, which is packed with good players".

For his part, Alcaraz discussed his team's next game: "Sevilla will force us to do a lot of things well, to be very effective both as individuals and as a team. The standard of competition is high, but we're in the Liga BBVA and we want to compete in it".
