Sevilla vs Barcelona
Copa del Rey 2018-19
Venue: Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium
Date: Wednesday 23 January, 2019
Kick-off: 8:30pm GMT
Barcelona travel to Sevilla as they look to stay in the hunt for a fifth consecutive Copa del Rey crown.
These two sides met in the final of last year's competition with Barca sealing an emphatic 5-0 win to ensure the trophy remained in Catalonia.
With the first leg of this quarter-final tie taking place on their soil however, Sevilla will be out to avenge that humbling final defeat.
Score prediction: Sevilla 1-1 Barcelona
Ernesto Valverde had planned to rest Lionel Messi at the weekend to keep him fresh for this tie.
The Argentine played half an hour on Sunday, summoned from the bench to rescue all three points against Leganes but the Barca boss will still feel his star man is fully refreshed.
As ever, Sevilla's chances will depend on keeping him quiet.
Team news
Ousmane Dembele will not feature; the France international has been ruled out for two weeks after an awkward fall on Sunday.
Samuel Umtiti also remains unavailable.
