How Barcelona could line up against Sevilla

Barcelona head into Tuesday's La Liga fixture at Sevilla with the opportunity to make further progress towards trying to break into the top four of the La Liga standings.

The Catalan giants got back to winning ways on Saturday night, edging out Elche by a 3-2 scoreline, and manager Xavi may consider selecting the same XI.

However, the quick turnaround may inevitably lead to alterations, particularly in the case of injury-plagued Ousmane Dembele who came through 90 minutes at the weekend.

Starting twice in three days seems unlikely, and it could result in Philippe Coutinho being given a role in the final third alongside Nico Gonzalez and Abde Ezzalzouli.

Gonzalez may get the nod over Ferran Jutgla, despite his fellow youngster also scoring at the weekend, and further changes could be made in other areas.

Frenkie de Jong will be assessed after being substituted with 14 minutes left versus Elche due to fatigue, while Gerard Pique is available after serving a one-match ban.

Although the veteran centre-back could realistically replace any of the back three from the previous game, Xavi may be prepared to stick with the current trio.

The likes of Pedri, Ansu Fati and Memphis Depay all remain sidelined for this contest.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Araujo, Garcia, Lenglet; Busquets, De Jong, Alba, Gavi; Coutinho, Gonzalez, Ezzalzouli
