Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Sevilla and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Kick off is at 15:15 GMT.

FULL TIME: Sevilla 0-2 Barcelona

All things considered, this has been one of Barcelona's best performances of the season so far. This takes the Catalans to within just two points of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga.

Jordan finally gets the yellow card he probably should have got in the first few minutes of this match.

There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

Umtiti was also introduced for the injured Araujo before the second Barca goal.

Braithwaite has been playing in the centre forward role for much of the season for Barcelona. The Dane is a decent option to have in the squad, but isn’t a natural goalscorer like Suarez.

It should be noted that Braithwaite is on for the final few moments of the match.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Sevilla 0 Barcelona 2 (86 mins - Lionel Messi). And that will be the points in the bag for Barcelona and it's Messi who has added his name to the score sheet! The Argentine was through on goal, got a bit lucky with a defelction off Bono and finished into the net from about a yard or two out!

Araujo is down! Uh oh. This is a problem for Barcelona. Araujo has only been on the pitch for a matter of minutes, but it looks like the defender will have to come off here.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! En-Nesyri has the ball in the back of the net, but the Sevilla forward handled the ball before he got the shot away. Disallowed!

Close at the back post! A flick on from a freekick gave Araujo a chance at the back post, but the Barcelona centre back just couldn't reach far enough to turn it home.

Of course, Barcelona's recent good form comes against the backdrop of continued political and financial turmoil. The presidential election is finally set to take place at the start of next month.

While Barcelona have lacked consistency all season long, there is still a chance that could become part of the title race if they can keep their good league form going over the next few weeks.

Sevilla need to find something to build on here. They have offered very little here this afternoon. Lopetegui will be disappointed by what he has seen from his players.

PICTURE: Dembele's goal is still the difference

Here's the change for Barcelona as Ilaix comes on for the injured Pedri.

Pedri is on the same wavelength as Messi. There has been even been suggestions that the Argentine could be persuaded to stay at Barcelona to act as a mentor to the teenager.
