Barcelona continue their efforts to hunt down both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in La Liga when they visit Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Last weekend, Hansi Flick's side won consecutive league matches for the first time since November and followed it up with a dominant 5–0 win over Valencia to punch their ticket to the Copa del Rey semifinals. The Catalans continue to be a goalscoring machine, as they appear to be reaching the level that saw them soar during the opening three months of the season.
Barcelona must take advantage of the opportunity in front of them. With the Madrid derby finishing a tie on Saturday, a win for Barcelona will see them close the gap on second-place Atletico to one point and to one point on leaders Real Madrid .
The Blaugrana are also getting healthier at the perfect time. Dani Olmo could start for the first time in three weeks and Íñigo Martínez is also back available after an injury during the Spanish Super Cup kept him out of action for a month. Flick will likely turn to his strongest side looking to leave Sevilla with three massive points.
Here's how Barcelona could lineup vs. Sevilla on Sunday, Feb. 9.
