Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Sevilla and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Kick off is at 15:15 GMT.

Sevilla have made great strides under Lopetegui although there is still a sense that they are lacking that killer instinct. A win here this afternoon would prove they have added that to their game. Need to turn this around.

Rekik has only been on the pitch for a few minutes and he's already been shown a yellow.

PICTURE: Dembele found the net

So that triple change from Lopetegui all but reveals that he wasn't happy with the way his team played in the first half. Sevilla will have to create much more in this second period.

Lopetegui actually made three changes at the start of the second half with Rekik and Suso on off the bench for Sevilla.

A change for Sevilla at the start of the second half and En-Nesyri has been introduced.

The second half is under way! Barcelona have a 1-0 lead over Sevilla in this La Liga fixture.

HALF TIME: Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona. Dembele's goal is the difference between the two teams at the break and the Catalans probably deserve to be ahead of this stage. On top.

There will be one minute of stoppage time played at the end of the first half.

Messi lucky! The Barcelona number 10 was booked just moments ago, now he's brought down Kounde on the break. Sevilla's players believe Messi should have been sent off!

Carlos is flashed a yellow card for a foul on Messi. Can have no complaints.

DEST... over! De Jong played the pass out to his former Ajax teammate on the right, Dest cut inside and created the space for the shot, but he can only direct his effort over the bar!

Fernando becomes the first player to be shown a yellow by the referee.

Good play down the right! Pedri played a wonderful pass for Dest down the right, the American got his cross into the middle, but Sevilla manage to scramble the clearance away.

One of Sevilla’s biggest problems under Lopetegui has been that they have lacked a true goalscorer to lead the line, but En-Nesyri has found the back of the net 17 times this season.

Sevilla need to do more to create chances when they have the ball. Lopetegui's side haven't been allowed to get to the edge of the Barcelona box. Disappointing so far.

Goal stands! The officials have decided that there was no handball by Lenglet and Barcelona do indeed have a valuable lead over Sevilla in this match. They have edged it.
