"Starting with the hosts, while Espanyol might have enjoyed a sensational start to proceedings when getting the new campaign underway back in August, the Parakeets struggled to find any real stability prior to November's fortnight interval. Heading into the international break with consecutive La Liga defeats against Villarreal and Espanyol, Manolo Gonzalez's men know the importance of dusting themselves down here."
"Including a 2-0 defeat against Villarreal last time out, Gonzalez's side have notched just a single win from their previous four showdowns at the RCDE Stadium. Espanyol Team News While Villarreal loanee Carlos Romero might have been forced to miss out against his parent club last time out, the 24-year-old should be handed a full recall here. However, not featuring since the start of October, academy graduate Javi Puado remains on the sidelines with a knee injury."
Espanyol return from the November international break seeking a much-needed response at the RCDE Stadium after back-to-back La Liga defeats and unstable form since August. The Parakeets have won only two of their last eight league matches and managed a single victory in four recent home games, including a 2-0 loss to Villarreal. Carlos Romero is expected to return from loan absence, while Javi Puado remains sidelined with a knee injury. Urko Gonzalez will anchor midfield following a permanent move, and Roberto Fernandez Jaen will lead the attack despite scoring only twice this season. Sevilla arrive with mixed results and concerns.
