Barcelona play their final game before the international break in a La Liga trip to Sevilla on October 5.
Hansi Flick's side saw their unbeaten start to the campaign come to a shuddering halt in midweek as the Catalans suffered a 2-1 home defeat to holders PSG in Champions League action.
However, the defending Spanish champions head into the weekend with an edge at the top of La Liga, via a one-point lead over Real Madrid.
Hosts Sevilla are enjoying a solid start to life under new boss Matias Almeyda with an unbeaten run of five games in La Liga ahead of taking on Flick.
