FELIX HAS A SHOT BEATEN AWAY!

LUKEBAKIO LOOKS TO TEST THE GOALKEEPER
The forward cuts inside on his left and fakes an initial shot before sending an actual one over the bar. You could see what he was thinking, but it was nothing for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to worry about.

THE BALL FLASHES ACROSS THE SEVILLA GOAL!
Alex Balde overlaps Felix on the left and enters the box before poking the ball towards goal. It comes off Loic Bade's foot and pops up towards Yamal at the back post, but it comes too quickly for the teenager who can't keep it under control as it trickles out for a goal kick.
What a start that would've been!

...BECAUSE SEVILLA ARE IN GOOD FORM
They're unbeaten in their last four - two wins and two draws - and they thrashed Almeria 5-1 last time out, with five separate players getting on the scoresheet.
We're in for a great game!

WHO WINS THIS ONE?
Well, Barca will want to get back to winning ways after that 2-2 draw with Mallorca on Tuesday which cost them top spot. They're still in pretty decent shape, though, having won six of their last eight games and remain unbeaten in all competitions this season.
But they fell behind twice during the game against Mallorca and they'll be hoping history won't repeat itself...

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR MIND TO BE BLOWN?
Ramos (37) comes up against Yamal (16) in this game, SEVEN years after the then-nine-year-old Yamal walked out of the tunnel ahead of the El Clasico at Camp Nou next to Ramos... as his mascot!

AS FOR SEVILLA...
They've made five changes.
Juanlu Sanchez slots in at right-back while Joan Jordan is preferred to partner Djibril Sow in midfield. Ivan Rakatic faces his old club and Lucas Ocampos is also included.
The final change - Sergio Ramos comes in to face the old enemy!

THE INS AND OUTS FOR BARCA
Xavi has gone for a fresh centre-back pairing of Kounde - who faces his former club - and Christensen instead of Inigo Martinez and Ronald Araujo.
There's also a new-look attack than the one that stepped out for the midweek draw against Mallorca. Lewandowski and Yamal came off the bench in that game but they're preferred to Ferran Torres and Oriol Romeu for this one.
With Romeu dropping out, two offensive players coming in and Raphinha keeping his place, it will be interesting to see how they set-up.
