Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao's recent three match unbeaten run came to an end when the Basques lost at home to Getafe last weekend. Joaquin Caparros' side had been making steady progress since an opening day defeat at home to Almeria, but the loss against Getafe leaves Athletic in 12th place, with just five points. Athletic now faces a tough trip to Sevilla and midfielder Igor Gabilondo is worried about the Andalusian side's dangerous wing play. "They are very dangerous on the wings. (Diego) Capel and (Jesus) Navas are very quick and like to take players on, so we'll have to stop them," he said. Coincidentally, Athletic's two away games so far have both been in Andalusia. The trips to Malaga and Recreativo Huelva have both ended in ties. Joseba Garmendia looks set to return against Sevilla, but Joseba Etxeberria and Ander Murillo remain sidelined.
