Sevilla v Barcelona (15:15 GMT)
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman: "The games with Sevilla are two very different games. Saturday in the championship, on Wednesday in the cup.
"We need to try to win them both. We know the first leg score in the cup and we have to continue our run in the league. Keep collecting points and putting pressure on the teams above us.”
Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui: "I am expecting a great team with extraordinary footballers and the best player in the world. It is exciting for us and it is a real test and we will have to be at our best in every sense, there is no other way to compete against them.
"They have important players back from injury and that just adds to the quality that they have."

Sevilla could move above Barcelona with a victory today. But Barca could move to within two points of leaders Atletico if they manage a victory.

The reason I used Barcelona's La Liga and not domestic record is because Sevilla beat them 2-0 in the Copa del Rey earlier this month.
The second leg is on Wednesday.
Both sides lost their first Champions League legs.
