Predictions
SportsMole's Matt Law: Barcelona 2-1 Sevilla

"Barcelona has the chance to leapfrog Real Madrid with a victory here, and while that is not something for the Blaugrana faithful to get over-excited about after three games, it sends out a strong message nonetheless.

"Sevilla are certainly not to be underestimated and this will be an entertaining affair, but Barca should do enough to get over the line."

La Liga Expert: Barcelona 2-1 Sevilla

"There have been quite a lot of false dawns for Sevilla, at least in terms of thinking they are on the brink of becoming a side capable of competing at the very top of La Liga.

"Good runs are often ended in emphatic fashion in away games at Camp Nou and the Bernabeu and while it looks unlikely they will get played off the park, an improved Barcelona do look capable of ending Sevilla’s 17-game unbeaten streak in La Liga here."
