Xavi Hernandez's men remain unbeaten this season and head into this match at the back of a 4-0 win over Real Valladolid. They currently sit third in the table with seven points from three matches.
New signing Robert Lewandowski has been in fine form and has scored four goals in his last two outings. The Catalan side have further bolstered their ranks with the signing of two full-backs in Hector Bellerin and Marcus Alonso on deadline day, but the duo have been kept out of the matchday squad due to fitness issues.
Meanwhile, Sevilla are still trying to find their rhythm in the new campaign as they have lost two out of their three matches and have just one point to show for their efforts. They were even beaten 2-1 by Almeria, a newly-promoted side, in their previous match which show that Julen Lopetegui has still got a lot of work to do.
There is little doubt that Sevilla will be tested to their hilt given the rich vein of form the Blaugranas boast of. To make matters worse, Los Nervionenses have not won against Barcelona since a 2-1 victory in October, 2015.

Sevilla squad and team news
Sevilla will be without the services of Marcao and Jesus Manuel Corona as both players are currently on the nursing table. Karim Rekik will also be unavailable for the match after the defender picked up a knock against Almeria in the previous match.
New addition Adnan Januzaj has not been included by Lopetegui as the midfielder is not yet game-ready. However, Marcos Acuna will be available after he served his one-match suspension.
It will not be surprising if Lopetegui decides to shake up things in midfield and starts with experienced players in Ivan Rakitic, Delaney, and Isco along with Oliver Torres.

Bono; Navas, Nianzou, Carmona, Acuna; Rakitic, Isco, Delaney, Torres; Lamela, Mir
