Julen Lopetegui, the Sevilla manager, reflected on their match against Barcelona and he urged his charges to focus on their clash with Elche.
"We controlled the ball but if you don't score and the game goes on these things happen," Lopetegui said.
"When you win you have to move on and the same when you lose.
"Football moves very quickly and in four days we have a tough, important and exciting game that we need to dust ourselves down and prepare for."
The last meeting between Elche and Sevilla in a league match was on 15 March 2015.
Sevilla claimed a 3-0 win over Elche in a match which was played at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
