La Liga - Sevilla 0-3 Barcelona as it happened: Raphinha, Lewandowski and Garcia on target for Xavi's side

Mir has the ball in the back of the net for Sevilla! It would be a deserved lead for the hosts, but the offside flag is quickly raised and their celebrations are cut short.

Ter Stegen is closed down by Sevilla's high-press and the Barcelona goalkeeper is forced to go long, hoofing the ball out of play.

It has been a high tempo start from the hosts. Can they maintain this intensity?

Dembele jinx his way towards the penalty area but eventually runs into trouble. In a bid to make amends, he commits a cynical foul on Isco. The referee produces his first booking of the night.

Lewandowski takes a tumble inside the box, under pressure from Isco and Acuna. The Barcelona forward is looking for a penalty, but that would have been incredibly soft and the referee isn't interested.

A real scramble! Isco plays Rakitic through on goal and the Croatia international tries to lift it over Ter Stegen, but Araujo is in the right place at the right time to clear off the line.

A let-off for Barca!

Lots of possession for Sevilla in the early stages of the contest. The quicker they can settle the better. A lot of pressure on their shoulders tonight.

Here we go...

Here we go, it's almost time for action at Estadio Ramon.

Barcelona have only lost one of their last 15 league games away to Sevilla (a 2-1 defeat in 2015).

Michael Krohn-Dehli and Vicente Iborra were on the scoresheet for Sevilla. Barcelona's scorer? Neymar.

With just one point from their opening three games, Sevilla have made a nightmarish start to the domestic campaign, and Lopetegui knows his side will have to be at their best to beat the visitors tonight.

The head coach said: "The message is that Sevilla is playing at home in a great match in which we have the mission of taking three points, we have to graze perfection at every level. We are convinced that the fans will help us and will give us extra energy in the difficult moments.”

Barcelona are unchanged from the side that won 4-0 against Valladolid last weekend, while Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui has made five changes to the side that lost 2-1 at Almeria. Montiel, Gudelj, Acuna, Rakitic, Isco and En-Nesyri all come into the side.

Tonight's game comes too soon for Marcos Alonso, who left for Barcelona on Thursday...

"Aubameyang helped us a lot, as a person he is a treasure, he always has a smile and always trained well," said Xavi on Aubameyang, who left for Chelsea on deadline day.

"I feel sorry for him, and for every player that has left, but they have all been professional, even those who I told in May that I didn't count on them."
