Line-ups: Villa out, Pedro in

Tito Vilanova has brought in Pedro Rodriguez in favour of David Villa in the Barcelona attack at Sevilla, whilst Xavi Hernandez is also restored.

From the home win over Granada, Barcelona have dropped striker Villa in favour of Pedro, Thiago Alcantara in favour of Xavi and replaced the injured Adriano with the once more healthy Jordi Alba.

Meanwhile, hosts Sevilla name the same starting line-up for the third week in a row, meaning that Barca will face the same XI that defeated Real Madrid just two weeks ago.

Starting line-ups

Sevilla: Palop; Cicinho, Botia, Spahic, Navarro; Medel, Maduro; Navas, Rakitic, Trochowski; Negredo

Barcelona: Valdes; Alves, Song, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Xavi, Cesc; Pedro, Alexis, Messi
