The games just keep coming and coming in La Liga as Friday's trip to Sevilla is followed by a home game against Athletic Club.
The Basques come to Camp Nou in 9th place in the table on 42 points, just five off the European places and are unbeaten with a win and two draws since the league restart in June.
Barcelona will do their best to get a convincing win at home in order to calm the mood after Real Madrid have gone top again.
