Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of this LaLiga clash between Real Sociedad and Barcelona!
Real Sociedad enter the match in a positive run of form after suffering just two defeats in their last eight matches, and they will now be looking to consolidate their place at fourth spot in LaLiga against Barcelona. Imanol Alguacil’s side recorded a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid during their last outing which took place last weekend, with this meaning they have had the full week to prepare for this key encounter.
League leaders Barcelona will be aiming for their seventh straight win in all competitions when they make the trip to face Real Sociedad. A victory would see Ernesto Valverde’s side temporarily move three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid ahead of their rivals’ match tomorrow evening. Barcelona enter the match following a successful week which saw them beat Granada 5-2 ahead of their 2-1 win over Inter during the week.
SUBS: Willian Jose, Miguel Angel Moya, Andoni Gorsabel, Luca Sangalli, Adnan Januzaj, Ander Barrenetxea, Modibo Sagnan.
The players are now heading out of the tunnel as kick-off edges closer.
SUBS: Ansu Fati, Arturo Vidal, Carles Alena, Nelson Semedo, Samuel Umtiti, Neto, Carles Perez.
BARCELONA (4-3-3) Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann.
REAL SOCIEDAD (4-1-4-1): Alex Remiro; Joseba Zaldua, Diego Llorente, Igor Zubeldia, Nacho Monreal; Ander Guevara; Portu, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal; Alexander Isak.
Sociedad will be pleased with how they acquitted themselves in their first-half performance, but there will certainly be disappointment they are not taking a lead into the interval. Barcelona have struggled to find their rhythm so far despite entering the match on a six-game winning run, but Valverde will be hoping his side can use Griezmann's equaliser as a springboard to an improved performance after the break.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and it is almost time for the start of the second half.
Sociedad will now be preparing for their Copa Del Rey clash with Becerri on Thursday following their positive point against Barcelona, while Valverde's side now have a quick turnaround before their top-of-the-table clash with rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday.
That's all for now. Thank you for following live coverage of this exciting LaLiga clash!
