Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Sevilla

Barcelona are set for one of the biggest clashes in La Liga as they travel to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to take on Sevilla. Xavi has made just the one change to his starting XI for the game after the win against Elche on the weekend.

Gerard Pique comes in after serving his suspension period for five yellows. He replaces Clement Lenglet in central defence but will start in the centre of the back-three. Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia retain their place the trident, starting on the right and left respectively. Marc-Andre ter Stegen dons the gloves.

We saw Jordi Alba take up a new role in midfield vs Elche, and he is likely to continue there. Sergio Busquets starts on the base of the midfield, while Frenkie de Jong assumes responsibility to his right. Gavi will presumably take up the role of the attacking midfielder.

The attack features two natural wingers in the form of Ousmane Dembele and Ez Abde. They will be flanking Ferran Jutgla who started as the centre-forward last time out and opened the scoring for Barça.

Confirmed Barça XI: ter Stegen; Araujo, Pique, Eric; de Jong, Busquets, Alba; Gavi; Dembele, Jutgla, Abde
