Barcelona have won every one of their eight LaLiga games and sit top on 24 points. They travel to Seville for matchday nine to face Real Betis, third on 19. Kick-off is Saturday 17 October, 7:30pm Kenya time.
Betis have lost none of their last five games in all competitions, winning three and drawing two, and their latest result was a 3-2 win over FC Porto in the Champions League. Barcelona have won all five of their recent games and have yet to drop a league point this season.
Barcelona's perfect start
Barcelona have scored 34 goals and conceded seven in eight league games, with four clean sheets and a goal in every match. Their last five results have produced 21 goals for and six against.
Raphinha leads the competition's scoring with 12 goals and three assists, and Lamine Yamal has seven goals and five assists. The 7-2 win over Racing Santander and the 4-2 win at Levante show how many goals that front line can produce in one game.

Betis score in every game but have conceded nine
Betis have scored 14 goals in eight league games and conceded nine, with six wins, one draw and one defeat. They have found the net in every league match, but nine conceded in eight games is the figure that stands out. Their biggest league win was the 5-2 against Osasuna on 11 October, three days before they beat Porto.
Both of their Champions League wins have finished 3-2, and neither ended with a clean sheet. Marc Bartra scored twice in the 3-2 win at Lille on 8 September. Betis have kept four clean sheets in the league, the same number as Barcelona.
