Barcelona vs. Sevilla FC: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Having lost two of their last three La Liga matches, Barcelona will be looking to get their form back on track with a win against a strong Sevilla side.

The Catalan giants sit second in the table, per Sky Sports, and despite their recently poor results, they could top La Liga come the end of the weekend's play.

Much talk has recently centred on Lionel Messi's happiness at the Camp Nou, and if Barca's form continues to fluctuate it can only fuel further talk of a dramatic exit for the mercurial attacker.

Will Lionel Messi Become a Problem for Barcelona?

Things in football do change in spectacular fashion sometimes, and Lionel Messi does not see himself as any different to any player when it comes to this.

Most do still expect to see Messi in a Barca shirt until the day he retires, but it seems the love affair with the only club of his life could be about to hit the rocks.

Messi was cryptic whilst speaking to Ole recently, and the collective ears of the world pricked up in quiet astonishment, per Liam Twomey of Goal.com:

"

Right now I live in the present. I’m thinking about having a great year and winning the titles that we want at Barcelona. And nothing more. After we will see. A lot changes in football... I have always said that I would love to stay there forever, but sometimes things don't work out as you plan.

Many times I've said it. If it were up to me I would stay forever. But as I have said, things don't always work out as you plan them. More so in football, where so many things change and so many things happen. 

It's complicated, more so right now with what is happening at Barcelona.

"

It is difficult to know what Messi is saying—or at least, trying to say. But what is sure is that he is not the happy-go-lucky ace of Barca's golden years when they were the best team in Europe by many miles.

And surprising, it is worth noting that when Messi signed his new deal with the club back in the summer prior to the World Cup, a large minority of the Barcelona supporter base voted in a poll that they would be happy to see him leave.

ESPNFC reported on this at the time, with journalist Sid Lowe saying those specific fans should be "locked up."

You would not expect Messi's situation to currently affect the team's overall performance, but a loss to Sevilla will put the cat amongst the pigeons—leaving Messi open to huge criticism. 

The best medicine for the Catalans is to start winning again—and more importantly—get Messi playing with a smile on his face. 

Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu believes there is nothing specifically wrong with the legendary Argentine and that others are trying to complicate matters, per Sky Sports:

"

Leo is under a lot of pressure off the field. I have spoken with his father, Jorge, two days ago and my impression is that nothing has changed, he is happy at Barca, and his comments say that clearly—he wants to win everything.

"

Bartomeu's words are meant to appease the current feelings of discontent, and he is right to try to do this. However, Barca's next few results may speak a thousand words on their own—if they are not 100 percent positive. 

Match Preview

Sevilla have started the season with a burst of energy and sit just four points off the top of the table, after winning seven of their 11 matches.

They are a side who have developed well over the past 12 months, and they will feel they can take Atletico Madrid's example from last season and pierce the bubble of the big two clubs.

Despite their confidence, Sevilla have not beaten the Camp Nou club since 2010, per Phil Kitromilides of Goal.com, but they did come back from 2-0 down at Barca last season to level the match, only to fall to a late Alexis Sanchez effort.

Barcelona loanees Gerard Deulofeu and Denis Suarez should feature for Sevilla against their parent club and will be hoping to show Luis Enrique it was a mistake to let them go.

Deulofeu was clear in his intentions when speaking recently to Sevilla's website, per Goal.com:

"

I'm in line with Denis, as I said earlier in the season. I do not talk much Barca because I am in Sevilla, I do not need to talk about another club. Today my club is Sevilla. I'm focused on Sevilla. I'm learning here and next year it will have to happen.

I am prepared, it is a special week but let's try to get three points as in any other game, it's complicated but we will do everything possible to pull it off.

"

Andres Iniesta, Jeremy Mathieu and Rafinha are doubts for Enrique's team, as reported by Goal.com, but Sergi Roberto is available again after a groin injury.

Deulofeu is likely to give Barca trouble if he makes it on to the field—he showed last season at Everton why he is such a highly rated prospect—but he is still young.

Enrique was correct to let him go for a further year, but in this match Sevilla's gain could be the Camp Nou team's loss.

The Messi issue is interesting—it certainly feels like this problem will not go away fast for the player or club. But if the Argentina captain grabs the Spanish goalscoring record on Saturday night, all the negativity will temporarily be put on the shelf.
