Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Sevilla

Following Real Madrid’s win against Real Betis, the onus is on Barcelona to build on their superb start to the season as they make the trip to South-west Spain. Sevilla are ready to host Barcelona at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, and Xavi has made no changses to the team that came out victors against Real Valladolid last week.

Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha are the starting wingers again, with the former likely on the left. There will, however, be constant interchanges through the 90 minutes, as we have been seeing week after week.

Robert Lewandowski‘s four-goal tally has been overtaken by Iago Aspas, who is on five for the season now. The Pole spearheads the attack tonight in the hopes of reclaiming his throne.

In midfield, captain Sergio Busquets is anchoring the ship. He is flanked by the Spanish duo of Gavi and Pedri on either side, with Frenkie de Jong and Franck Kessie sitting on the bench.

Jules Kounde gets awarded with a another start after his debut, likely at right-back. Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia are headlining the back-four as centre-backs, with Alejandro Balde retaining his spot on the left side.

The first, but final piece in the team is Marc-Andre ter Stegen, donning the gloves.
