NUMBERS!
By finding the back of the net against Atletico Madrid at the weekend, Rakitic became the second-top scoring Croatian player in La Liga history after Davor Suker. Prolific scorer.
68'
INJURIES!
Barcelona might have to make a couple of changes here with Garcia complaining about his shoulder and Alba not happy with the state of his ankle at the moment.
67'
66'
EXPERIENCED HEAD!
Rakitic was the best player on the pitch for Sevilla in their win over Atletico Madrid at the weekend. Should Barcelona have kept the Croatian midfielder beyond the end of last season?
65'
ADVANTAGE, BARCA!
Well, that certainly shakes things up. Lopetegui is already in deep conversation with his coaching staff on the touchline. How will the Sevilla boss deal with losing a man?
64'
SENT OFF!
Kounde is off and that was very foolish from the Sevilla defender! There was a clash between Kounde and Alba with the Frenchman then throwing the ball straight in the face of the Barcelona player!

CHANGES COMING?
Both Sevilla and Barcelona have players warming up down the touchline. Neither team has made a change yet. Surely we'll see that in the final 30 minutes of the match.
60'
LASHED WIDE!
That was a good opportunity for Abde to hit the target, but the Barcelona youngster lashes wide when he should have tested Bono at the very least! Sevilla were cut open.
59'
GOOD CONTEST SO FAR!

58'
BONO FUMBLES!
The corner kick delivery should have been easy enough for Bono to gather, but the difficult conditions proved a challenge and the goalkeeper gathers at the second attempt.
57'
56'
GOOD SPELL!
Sevilla are having a period of pressure in the match with Barcelona having to do some defending. The home team feel they should be ahead and are looking to make amends.
55'
RECORD BREAKER!
Gavi became the fourth player born in 2000 or later to score a La Liga goal for Barcelona (after Ansu Fati, Nico Gonzalez and Eze Abde) in the 3-2 win over Elche at the weekend.
54'
OCAMPOS UNHAPPY!
Mir did well to break into the Barcelona box with the ball at his feet, but he took the shot on himself when he would have been better playing into Ocampos and the Argentine isn't happy.
