Barcelona confirmed Setien's departure on Monday following an emergency directors' meeting after the crushing Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich.
Setien himself said he did not think his position had been under threat and was pleased with the football they have been playing.
With 70 points from 33 matches, the Quique Setien-managed team failed to topple Real Madrid who are sitting at the top with 71 points from 32 matches.
The draw can be a potential title-decider as Real Madrid stand a great chance to topple Barcelona and reclaim the numero uno position in the points table.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday Barcelona somehow managed to get full points and dethroned Real Madrid from the top of the points table.
Barcelona, as expected, started the match on the front foot and outraged Sevilla with a host of attacks, but they failed to produce the finishing product.
Messi was at his usual best in Barcelona's first game in almost three months as he scored once and assisted twice for the Catalan giants.
Jordi Alba is suspended, while Clement Lenglet is available after suspension and others such as Ivan Rakitic, Nelson Semedo or Arthur Melo will also hope to start.
Barcelona got the breakthrough as early as in the second minute after Chilean midfielder scored with a diving header off a delivery from Jordi Alba.
