Barcelona will aim for their third consecutive victory across all competitions when they host Sevilla in their upcoming league match on Sunday.
The Catalan side is riding high after a dominant 5-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League, followed by a 3-0 triumph against Alaves in La Liga, highlighted by a hat-trick from star striker Robert Lewandowski.
On the other hand, Sevilla is also enjoying an unbeaten streak in La Liga, having gone three matches without a loss after a challenging start to the season. Their most recent match saw them secure a 1-0 victory over Real Betis, even after being reduced to 10 men.

Barcelona will be missing several key players, including Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ferran Torres, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo, all sidelined due to injuries. However, they will welcome back Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo, who could feature in the squad against Sevilla.

Sevilla will also face challenges, with Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow unavailable due to injuries. Tanguy Nianzou is suspended after receiving a red card in their last match against Real Betis, which means Kike Salas is expected to step in at center-back. Additionally, Jose Angel Carmona may start at right-back in place of Jesus Navas.
Sevilla Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Nyland (GK) — Carmona, Bade, Salas, Pedrosa — Agoume, Gudelj — Lukebakio, Fernandez, Ejuke — Romero.
