Sevilla
The home team will be without the services of Joan Jordan and Tanguy Nianzou because of injury. Meanwhile, Jose Angel Carmona is suspended for this fixture following a milestone yellow last time out.
Sevilla will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, where Orjan Nyland should be in goal. The back four should be made up of Juanlu Sanchez, Loic Bade, Nemanja Gudelj, and Adria Pedrosa.
They will look to keep things tight at the back while receiving significant support from the three in front of them. Albert Sambi Lokonga will be the defensive midfielder with Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow in his support on either side. Dodi Lukebakio and Ruben Vargas will provide the width to their attacks, while Isaac Romero will lead the line for Sevilla against Barcelona.
Barcelona
The visitors remain without the services of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal. Meanwhile, Gavi should return to the starting XI after missing out on their last outing. Dani Olmo and Inigo Martinez could also play a part off the bench.
Hansi Flick will make significant changes to his XI with all his first-team stars making a return. Barcelona will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Wojciech Szczesny will be in goal. Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde will be the full-backs. In the heart of the defence, Ronald Araujo will partner with Pau Cubarsi.
As for the midfield unit, Marc Casado and Pedri will form the double pivot in the middle of the park. They will look to control the tempo of the game and ensure they have the majority of the ball. Gavi will take up the no. 10 role with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha on the flanks. Robert Lewandowski will spearhead the Barcelona attack against Sevilla on Sunday.
Sevilla possible starting lineup:
Nyland; Sanchez, Bade, Gudelj, Pedrosa; Saul, Lokonga, Sow; Lukebakio, Romero, Vargas

Prediction: Sevilla 1-2 Barcelona
Sevilla are certainly capable of picking up a positive result here, and it has been a solid start to 2025 for the team.
