Barcelona can soar to the top of La Liga standings, at least temporarily, when they play host to Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The Catalan giants are on a five-game winning run in all competitions as Xavi's men picked up a 5-0 Champions League victory over Antwerp in the midweek.
Celta, on the other hand, have won just one game this season and come into the game on the back of a 1-0 home loss against Mallorca.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
