Spanish La Liga leaders Barcelona will have to break Sevilla's 31-game unbeaten run at the Sanchez Pizjuan to ensure they maintain a four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table today.
Barca swept aside Almeria last Wednesday to take their winning streak in all competition to nine games, but have the added complication of facing the on-form Andalusians just three days before a Champions League quarter-final, first leg away to Paris Saint-Germain.
Barca will at least be able to welcome back six first-team regulars, including Neymar and Gerard Pique, after they were rested against Almeria.
"The schedule in April is very hard. We can't win any title, but we can lose them if we don't do things right," Pique said.
Sevilla have also won their last seven games in all competitions and are in desperate need of the points as they battle Valencia and Atletico Madrid for a place in next season's Champions League.
"The truth is we didn't expect to be playing so well at this stage of the season, we have a lot of confidence and want to continue like this," said midfielder Daniel Carrico.
"On Saturday we have a very difficult game, but we are playing in our stadium, in front of our fans and they always help us a lot."
Real Madrid can close to within a point of Barca before kick-off at the Sanchez Pizjuan as they host Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier today.
