Quique Sanchez Flores will take charge of his first home game as Sevilla head coach when his side face Athletic Bilbao in Thursday's La Liga encounter.
The hosts are currently languishing in 16th position, while the visitors begin the new year in 15th place in the league table.
Having won just three of their 18 league matches, Sevilla sit just three points above the bottom three, while the Europa League winners are also out of Europe after they finished bottom of a Champions League group that featured Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven and Lens.
Sanchez Flores, who replaced Diego Alonso in December, has experienced a mixed start to his tenure, winning 3-0 against Granada in his opening fixture, before he saw his side fall to a narrow 1-0 defeat in La Liga's final match of 2023.
After beginning his reign with consecutive away matches, Sanchez Flores will hope to get off to a winning start at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but claiming all three points will be easier said than done, as Sevilla have failed to win any of their last seven competitive home matches (D4, L3).
