While all the focus in Spain is currently on Real Madrid's new world-record signing Gareth Bale, Barcelona are preparing for their La Liga clash against Sevilla this Saturday.

The Spanish giants currently top the league table with a 100% record following victories over Levante, Malaga and Valencia.

The Catalans' intent was shown in their opening match of the season when they hit seven past Levante, while their opponents this weekend are yet to get a league win under their belts.

Lionel Messi is expected to lead the line for Barcelona at their home fortress, while summer signing Neymar is likely to provide support from behind the Ballon d'Or winner.

For the visitors, who have just two points on the table, they are likely to start Kevin Gameiro in attack following his brace against Malaga on September 1.
