Both Iheanacho and Ejuke are eager to bounce back from disappointing seasons and make a strong impression in La Liga.
Iheanacho, in particular, is looking to regain his form from the 2020/21 season, when he scored 12 league goals for Leicester City.
Ejuke has also struggled for consistency, failing to net more than five league goals in any of his last four seasons across multiple clubs
Sevilla’s new manager, Garcia Pimienta, is eager to make a strong start after guiding Las Palmas to safety last season.
Facing his former club will add extra spice to the encounter.
Despite Sevilla’s struggles on the road last term, they did secure a victory against Las Palmas.
Pimienta has hinted at a potent attacking trio involving Iheanacho, Isaac, and Peque. “I’m not confirming the starting lineup, but we’re considering playing Iheanacho and Isaac together,” he said. “Their ideal positions are upfront, and we’re working on a system to accommodate both of them.”
In another La Liga fixture on Friday, Celta Vigo will also take on Alaves live on StarTimes. The two teams finished the previous season with a five-point gap, with Alaves occupying the 10th position and Celta Vigo in 13th .
