[ESPN+](http://go.web.plus.espn.com/0J9VgN?subId2=%5B%5Dsb%5Bp%5D23176411%5Bt%5Dw%5Br%5Dmanagingmadrid.com%5Bd%5DD) Benzema had to leave Friday’s training session with some discomfort but he ended up making the squad list, so he should not only be available but also ready to start.
Before we get going, if you're looking for a place where you can watch the game (and why wouldn't you be?), then look no further! Here's all the info you need.
It'll be interesting to see how Sevilla intend to line-up though, with no recognised striker in the team for a second away game in succession. Of course, Benzema and Courtois have been in the news for other reasons this week. This Madrid side are not the kind you want to be giving too much of a head-start... I went to a game between Spain and Italy at the Bernabéu in 2017 and Isco was absolutely unbelievable that night. This is a good chance for Sevilla from the free-kick! Unsurprisingly, considering Sampaoli is in charge, Sevilla have been trying to play the ball out from the back at every opportunity. They work it to Modric, who cleverly makes space for a shot in the box, which is blocked by Telles at the last second. Montiel, despite his defensive struggles, has got forward on a couple of occasions and is the first visiting player to trouble Courtois. Rodrygo goes down in the box and (the fans) want a penalty. One touch and hit from the edge of the box, it whistles into the corner. That changed the complexion of the game for 15-20 minutes or so, with Sevilla gaining the upper hand and threatening the home goal on a few occasions. Other teams would lost their composure after conceding and Real Madrid were on the back foot for a spell.
Lineups are announced and players are warming up. Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Tchouameni, Kroos, Modric; Vinicius, Rodr.

Real Madrid will look to make it four straight La Liga wins and extend their lead at the top of the table when they host Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu on ...
They then host relegation-threatened Girona on 30th October, and then concluding the UCL group phase by hosting Celtic on 2nd November. Sevilla, meanwhile, are currently languishing 13th place in La Liga standings and have made a disappointing start to their season. They followed up their El Clasico victory last weekend with a 3-0 hammering of Elche away from home in midweek.
