Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano is delighted with his early season form.
"There is no denying that Real Madrid and Barcelona are being nominated by many as favourites for the title," said Fabiano.
"But Sevilla will try to surprise and have an advantage because the base of the team from last season was maintained. We are able to join the fight for a place in the Champions League.
"I know my responsibility and I'm ready for it."
