La Liga leaders Girona will be aiming to return to winning ways when they resume their league campaign with a home match against a struggling Sevilla outfit on Sunday night.
Girona were surprisingly held to a goalless draw by basement side Almeria last weekend, while Sevilla suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Alaves in their last match in Spain's top flight.
The point was enough to move them to the top of the division above Real Madrid, though, with the Catalan outfit picking up 49 points from 20 matches this season courtesy of a record of 15 wins, four draws and one defeat, and their performance has been one of the major stories in European football this season.
Girona will enter this match off the back of a win, having beaten Rayo Vallecano 3-1 in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.
The White and Reds, who are only in their fourth-ever campaign at this level, will take on Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao in their opening three league games of February, and it will be fascinating to see where they are in the table in around a month.
