We have a beautiful chance to win another title for Sevilla. We can't think about anything else than the final.

And the Spanish schemer is drawing inspiration from a 2-2 league draw between the two teams at the Sanchez Pizjuan at the end of March, despite his side having gone seven games without a win in all competitons.

Sarabia told his club's official website: "Anything can happen in a match like this. The smallest details can make the difference and we're going to try and remain focused through the entire match so nothing escapes us.

"We aren't scared at all, we'll try and exploit our own strengths and make them feel uncomfortable in every aspect of play.

"Scoring is a challenge we have, but the important thing is we're creating chances. I'd be more worried if we weren't. We have to be as aggressive as we can.

"We have a beautiful chance to win another title for Sevilla. We can't think about anything else than the final."

Prior to the La Liga draw last month, Sevilla had lost their previous seven meetings with Barca and they are 7/2 to lift the Copa del Rey on Saturday night.

A 1-0 victory for Los Rojiblancos in normal time is priced at 28/1, with Wissam Ben Yedder available at 8/5 to score at any time.
