"The summary is positive for the result and for the game," Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui said after their win over Elche.
 
"The team played a good game against a complex opponent and I think we beat them. In the first half we weren't successful but in the second half we were able to score and justice was done.
 
 "A very complete game against a good opponent and we're happy about it. In the second half we took a step forward in more things, they dropped a little because they were tired and we took advantage. Fortunately, what counts is the goals."
 
The last league meeting between Espanyol and Sevilla was on 25 September 2021.
 
Sevilla claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Espanyol in a game that was played at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
