Barcelona visit the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Sunday to battle Sevilla in their last match before the October international break.
Real Madrid’s heavy 5–2 defeat against rivals Atlético Madrid, combined with Barcelona’s victory over Real Sociedad, saw Hansi Flick’s men overtake Los Blancos atop the La Liga standings.
However, Paris Saint-Germain handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season last time out in the Champions League. The Catalans were vastly outplayed by an undermanned PSG side that exposed weaknesses Flick must address quickly.
Injuries continue to give Flick a headache, with Lamine Yamal once again unavailable after aggravating his recent groin injury. A number of Barça players were visibly exhausted in the defeat against PSG, so more rotations are expected against Sevilla.
Regardless of who’s on the pitch, Barcelona are still expected to come away with their eight consecutive win against Sevilla, anything other than that would be considered a disappointment.
