In Saturday's pre-match press conference, Julen Lopetegui has made it clear that the team have forgotten about the match against Eibar and are ready for the tricky match on Sunday against Real Sociedad in Nervión: "The team spirit takes priority, there was a perfect storm for Eibar that made us lose, and now we have to continue competing, we competed well against Madrid and the first half at Eibar was very good". The Sevilla manager did not announce the squad, as he is awaiting news on some players, including Reguilón: "We have a lot of matches and some players picked up knocks on Thursday, but fortunately they only seem minor".
The manager also praised the Real Sociedad side: "It's a very good team, they play really well and they are coached really well too, but we have a strong squad to face them and we're looking for a win at the best place possible, our stadium".
