Sevilla's fine form continued with a 1-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday. They have now won four of six La Liga outings this season, losing just once during that stretch.
The Andalusian giants have earned 13 points from a possible 18 and are fifth in the Spanish top flight at the time of writing.
Head coach Luis Garcia will be pleased to have no new injury concerns ahead of this clash, although Ruben Vargas remains sidelined until next month due to a knee injury.
On the other hand, Barcelona cruised to a comfortable 7-2 victory over Racing Santander on Wednesday night.
Hansi Flick's troops have scored a whopping 33 goals in seven competitive matches this season, more than any other team in Europe's top 5 leagues.
The Blaugrana have a perfect six wins from six in La Liga and are three victories away from matching the league's longest winning start in history, set by Real Madrid during the 1968/69 season.
Following his hat-trick against Racing Santander, Raphinha is now the league's top scorer with nine goals. The Brazilian is expected to start once again as he chases his first Pichichi title.
Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji remain sidelined for the Catalan side, while first-choice goalkeeper Joan Garcia was injured in the win against Racing Santander and is unavailable for selection.
Barcelona have had an excellent track record against Sevilla in the past, having won eight of the last nine H2Hs. However, they suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat in their last trip to this stadium.

Whispers Predicts: Sevilla 2-5 Barcelona
Priced at 1/4 (1.25), Barcelona are clearly favoured by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
The Blaugrana have averaged 4.71 goals this season, so in addition to extending their winning streak to 10 matches, we also expect them to score up to five goals.
Interestingly, Barcelona conceded exactly two goals in three of their last four La Liga outings, so we also fancy over 1.5 Sevilla goals at 29/10 (3.90).
There were at least 11 corners in five of the last seven H2Hs, so over 9.5 total corners at 9/10 (1.90) should be worth a punt.
> Over 4.5 total goals at 6/4 (2.50) | Likelihood: Possible
> BTTS – Yes at 7/10 (1.70) | Likelihood: Probable
> To win both halves: Barcelona at 13/10 (2.30) | Likelihood: Probable
> Barcelona & BTTS – Yes at 23/20 (2.15) | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct Score: 2-5 at 36/1 (37.00) | Likelihood: Outsider
