Madrid star player Cristiano Ronaldo netted an own-goal which ultimately gave Getafe their victory and left the defending league champions 16 points behind leaders Barcelona.

Sevilla have won their last two matches and are eyeing a spot in the Europa League so Madrid are in for a tough encounter.

Defenders Pepe and Raphael Varane have slim chances to play in this game while Mesut Ozil should return to the starting line-up.

Xabi Alonso is, however, doubtful and goalkeeper Iker Casillas is out with a fracture in his hand.

Sevilla will miss Diego Perotti, Piotr Trochowski and Cicinho while Andres Palop, the captain, should start.

Good news for Madrid is that Los Nervionenses have lost seven of their last eight meetings with them.
