Sevilla boss Unai Emery has hinted that he will prioritise La Liga over the Europa League in the final months of the season.
Sunday's 3-0 win over Elche moved Sevilla to within four points of fourth-placed Atletico Madrid in the table.
Emery's side are also on course for the quarter-finals of the Europa League after recording a 3-1 win over Villarreal in the first leg of their last-16 clash last week.
Emery, however, has claimed that he wants to "pursue a line of consistency in the league" and his team selection is expected to reflect that in the coming weeks.
"We want to pursue a line of consistency in the league, in addition to the excitement generated by the Europa League, because it's our route back into Europe [next season]," Emery told reporters.
Sevilla are the current holders of the Europa League.
