Sevilla FC has announced its official starting lineup for the match against RCD Espanyol on the fourth matchday of LaLiga EA Sports 2025-2026. The game will be played this Sunday at 21:00 at the RCDE Stadium, as reported by ABC Deportes. Luis García Plaza's team arrives for this away fixture sitting eighth in the standings with six points from three games.

What is Sevilla's lineup for the trip to Cornellà?

Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza has confirmed a starting eleven with several changes. In goal will be OOdysseas Vlachodimos. The defensive line consists of Jesús Iglesias, Mamadou M'Baye Sangante, Kike Salas, and Damián Suazo. Guram Kochorashvili, Lucien Agoumé, and Jon Guridi will operate in midfield. The attack will feature academy graduate Miguel Sierra, Chidera Ejuke, and Robbie Ure. This lineup reflects the changes the coach said were needed after the summer transfer window closed.

The coaching staff has called up a total of 24 players, including the three new summer signings: defender Stassin, full-back Correia, and midfielder Fofana. Three youth team players, Miguel Sierra, Iker Muñoz, and Sergio Recio, are also in the squad. The injured Marcao and Rubén Vargas, the latter currently on the club's injuries list, are unavailable.

What did Luis García Plaza say about the squad changes?

The Sevilla coach expressed satisfaction with the squad overhaul completed during the summer market. "Había que hacer muchos cambios y se ha conseguido, estamos muy satisfechos de haberle cambiado la cara al equipo," said Luis García Plaza. This renewal faces a key test in Sevilla's second away match of the season, following a 1-3 win at Athletic Club's San Mamés in matchday two.

The team approaches this clash with a record of two wins and one loss, having scored six goals and conceded five. These numbers place Sevilla three points behind leaders Barcelona in the early race for the top spots. The next fixture on the schedule is a home game against Valencia on September 11th.

How is Manolo González's Espanyol lining up?

The home side, managed by Manolo González, has also revealed its starting eleven. Goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović will start. The defense will be Oussama El Hilali, Unai Núñez, Leandro Cabrera, and Pol Hinojo. Gabriel Moscardo and Edu Expósito will form the double pivot in midfield. The attacking line will feature Juanpe Cala, Javier Hernández, and Keenan Dolan, with striker Roberto leading the line. Cabrera is the only change in the starting defense from the last match.

Espanyol arrives having played two home games this campaign: a 3-0 win over Levante and a 1-2 loss to Real Madrid. They will be without the injured Kike García and Javi Puado for this match. The duel promises to be an important test for both teams looking to solidify their path in the competition. Sevilla's complete squad for the season is available on the official squad page.
