Barcelona vs Sevilla - Barcelona hoping to equal Real Madrid's unbeaten record against Sevilla

Barcelona will look to maintain their seemingly relentless charge towards the Primera Division title when they host Sevilla at the Nou Camp on Sunday night.

The Catalans, who put one foot in the last eight of the Champions League with a 2-0 first-leg victory at Arsenal on Tuesday, are now unbeaten in their last 33 matches in all competitions.

Indeed Barcelona's last defeat came at the hands of Sevilla following a 2-1 loss at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium back in October.

Since then, Luis Enrique's side have recorded 27 victories, and - heading into the final 13 rounds of the La Liga season - they hold an eight-point lead over Atletico Madrid with Real Madrid, a further point back.

While Sevilla are fifth in the table, their away form has been somewhat of a mystery, having failed to win on the road this season.

They have drawn four of their last five league matches away from home while, in contrast, Barcelona have won all five of their last five fixtures at home.

And with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar leading the attack, the Catalans have scored 26 goals - including six against Altetico Bilbao and Celta Vigo - in the process.

Midfielder Rafinha remains sidelined for Barcelona through injury and will miss the visit of Sevilla, while Neymar, Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves - each on four bookings - would face a suspension should they receive another yellow card on Sunday.

For the visitors, Nicolas Pareja, Beto, Krychowiak and Marco Andreolli are injured, while Ever Banega is suspended.

Following their excursions at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, in which Messi scored a brace to take his tally for the season to 29, boss Luis Enrique gave his side two days off.

And after returning to training on Friday morning, Barcelona will head into Sunday's encounter knowing that if they manage to avoid defeat, they will equal Real Madrid's Spanish record of 34 matches unbeaten in the 1988/89 season.
