Barca having won both the league and the cup, Sevilla provide the opposition once again.They have been less dominant in the Supercopa, beating Sevilla in 2016 but losing to Athletic Bilbao in 2015 and Madrid 12 months ago.
The added complication for Sevilla is their involvement in Europa League qualifying, with Sunday's match coming in the middle of their two legs against Lithuanian side Zalgiris.
New boss Pablo Machin, who left Girona to take over at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, said: 'On Sunday we'll play a final we've won the right to be at and we have to give it the importance it has.
'We will not reach 100 per cent. Being a team with a different way of playing we need some time, but the team is assimilating well and they are good and intelligent football. Sevilla were chastening 5-0 defeat by Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey in April.
