Barcelona come into this game in some difficulty – they lost 2-3 to Valencia on Saturday, which was their first defeat for two months. That allowed rivals Atletico Madrid to go top of the La Liga table following their 4-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino has said that he recognizes the need to get back on track quickly. He said, "It is true that crises always have a beginning so it is up to us to cut it short. We have it within our power to ensure this does not go any further."
He also said, "Forty-five minutes of bad play is not enough to rule out Barca."
A number of key players were missing from their weekend defeat. Club captain Carles Puyol, defender Martin Montoya, winger Ibrahim Afellay and forward Isaac Cuenca, were missing, however, they have been named in the squad for today's big game.
Real Sociedad may struggle against a wounded Barcelona side today, who will surely be looking to make a point today. Sociedad are currently sixth in the La Liga, however, they have lost their last 16 games against Barcelona at the Nou Camp, revealing the massive challenge they face if they are even to steal a draw today.
