Barcelona beat Valencia by 5-0 in the quarter-final round of the Copa del Rey to advance to the next stage. They will now turn their focus towards their La Liga fixture, which is against Sevilla in an away package on Monday night.
Hansi Flick’s side are still four points off the table-toppers Real Madrid. Hence, they cannot afford to drop any further points. They will aim to clinch all three points and give no breathing space to their competitor for the league title.
4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup vs Sevilla
Defence
Wojciech Szczesny made some crucial saves against Valencia and should be ready to function between the sticks once again. Jules Kounde remains the primary choice for the right-back role in the side.
Ronald Araújo is expected to walk into the XI replacing Eric Garcia to form the heart of the defence alongside Pau Cubarsi. The way Alejandro Balde has been performing for Barcelona this week, it’s really tough to keep him away from the left-back role.
Midfield
Hansi Flick will have to make a tough choice between Marc Casado and Frenkie de Jong. One of these two should be playing alongside Pedri in the middle of the park.
Attack
Without a doubt, Lamine Yamal continues to play on the right wing with Raphinha playing on the other side of the pitch. Gavi didn’t participate in the previous game due to a head injury but might get the nod for this game. If he fails to regain full fitness, Fermin Lopez is likely to play as the attacking midfielder.
Though Ferran Torres scored an impressive hattrick, Robert Lewandowski should be the striker this time.
