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.

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.

VAR check... the officials are looking at what could be a handball by Lenglet in the build-up to the goal. Indeed, the ball did brush the arm of the French defender. Will this stand?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Sevilla 0 Barcelona 1 (29 mins - Ousmane Dembele). Barcelona have the breakthrough and it's Dembele who has found the back of the net! Messi played the pass through for the Frenchman, the Sevilla defence was split and Dembele did well to keep calm and slot the finish past Bono!

This has been a cagey affair so far. That maybe reflects just how big a match this is for both teams. A win would thrust them into title contention. A defeat would surely end those hopes.

There have been a number of fouls that could have produced bookings, but the referee has been keen to let the game flow and has kept the cards in his pocket so far.

Messi nearly catches out Bono! The Barcelona number 10 spotted the Sevilla goalkeeper slightly off his line from the freekick, but Bono gets back to catch on his line!

Dembele has been given a good run in the Barcelona team this season. He has benefited from the injury Ansu suffered earlier in the campaign and has done more to prove his worth.

Shot from Dembele! That's the first shot on target from either side with the Barcelona winger cutting inside on to his left foot to get the strike away, but Bono makes the diving save!

Pique has missed much of the season through injury, but made a surprise return to first team action in the Champions League defeat to PSG. Barcelona need to be careful not to rush him back too early.

After a slightly passive start from Sevilla, the home side are now starting to come into this game. They are seeing more of the ball and are trying to hit out on the counter.

PICTURE: No early breakthrough

Gomez has the chance to run at the Barcelona defence on the edge of the box for the first time this afternoon. The former Atalanta playmaker has settled in well at his new club.

Dest has settled in quickly as a Barcelona player. The American international is now first choice at right back following his summer transfer from Ajax and has impressed in between injuries.

It's been a bright start from Barcelona in terms of their share of the possession and the territorial advantage they have enjoyed, but they have yet to create a scoring chance.

It’s not so long ago that Sevilla beat Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi final. The second leg will take place next week and Lopetegui’s side appear to have the Catalans’ number.

However, Barcelona have also won their last six games away from home. A win at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan would be arguably the Catalans’ most impressive Liga result of the season so far.

Sevilla are in excellent form in La Liga at the moment. Indeed, Lopetegui’s side come into this fixture on the back of six successive victories in the division. They can leapfrog Barca with another win here.
