Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Sevilla

Barcelona are set to take on Sevilla for gameweek seven of La Liga, at home, as they look to get back on top of the table, albeit temporarily. Coming off a 2-2 draw against Mallorca, they will be looking to get back to winning ways.

Xavi has made a few changes to the team from midweek, and is starting a rather interesting XI for this clash.

Joao Cancelo retains his spot as a right-back, and is paired up with Alejandro Balde, who will provide width from the left.

Andreas Christensen, meanwhile, takes the reins alongside Jules Kounde as central defenders, guarding Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal.

Oriol Romeu had a game to forget as a defensive midfielder, and has been replaced by Ilkay Gundogan, who starts alongside Gavi in the double pivot.

Raphinha takes over as the third midfielder, probably as a no. 10. The Brazilian’s energy and work rate will be crucial today.

Lamine Yamal comes in to start as the right-winger, while Joao Felix continues on the left side of the attack. This duo will be flanking Robert Lewandowski, who takes his spot as the sole no. 9 of the team.

Confirmed Barça XI: ter Stegen; Cancelo, Kounde, Christensen, Balde; Gundogan, Gavi; Yamal, Raphinha, Felix; Lewandowski
