Barcelona vs Sevilla LIVE: Latest updates from the Nou Camp as Catalans capitalise on Real Madrid's defeat

Barcelona will be looking for their first league win since mid-September when they entertain Sevilla in Catalonia.

Ernesto Valverde’s side have drawn three and lost one of their last four La Liga fixtures, but the Catalans will hope to come back from the international break refreshed to claim their first league win since their 2-1 triumph at Real Sociedad.

Sevilla, meanwhile, are on a four-game winning run in the league, following victories against Levante, Real Madrid, Eibar and Celta Vigo.

What time does it start?

Barcelona vs Sevilla kicks off at 7:45pm on Saturday.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Eleven Sports 1 from 7:35pm and on their La Liga TV channel from 7:45pm. Fans can also watch the match on Eleven Sports through iOS mobile and tablet apps as well as on Android mobiles. Highlights will be shown on the La Liga TV channel at 10:30pm.

It’s a big game for…

Luis Suarez. While Barcelona loanee Paco Alcacer cannot stop scoring for Borussia Dortmund and Spain, the Uruguayan has appeared rather sluggish lately, demonstrated by his lethargic work on the ball in the 1-1 draw against Valencia at the Mestalla. The 31-year-old began last season in a similar fashion, however the Catalan giants will be hoping that he recovers in a similar vein to how he did last campaign to fire them to further success.

Player to watch…

Wissam Ben Yedder. The French striker has already netted five times this term, complimenting the goals from Andre Silva admirably. The 28-year-old scored the winner against Celta Vigo during the last weekend of fixtures, and given Barcelona’s problems at the back this season Ben Yedder could be an excellent option for Pablo Machin.
