Tuesday 19:45

Chongqing Lifan 1 Guizhou Renhe 1 in the Super League this morning.

We move swiftly on to Europe's Super Cup which, for the second season in a row, is an all-Spanish affair.

In the last three seasons, six Primera Division clashes between Barcelona and Sevilla have produced scorelines of 2-2, 5-1, 4-1, 3-2, 2-1 and 3-2.

All of the wins were Barca's, but they're prohibitively short at 1.351/3.

Barcelona you probably know about. For this game it's probably only worth noting that they will be without Neymar, who has mumps.

Unai Emery's back-to-back Europa League champions have lost some crucial players over the summer (Bacca, Vidal, M'Bia) but they were similarly depleted a year ago (when they sold Ivan Rakitic to tonight's opponents) and surpassed expectations to finish fifth.

The coach will continue to approach big games in the same way, however, and that raises the prospect of another free-scoring game in Georgia this evening.
