Form guide
Barcelona
Barcelona are still top on 27 points, but last Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Real Madrid ended their perfect start. Madrid are now three points behind and Atlético two. So there's no room for a slip, especially with Atlético away next weekend.
Alavés
Alavés are seventh on 12 points after ten games, 15 behind Barcelona. A point at Camp Nou would be a good night for them.
Team news
Barcelona: The defence is the worry. Eric García (thigh) is expected to miss a third game in a row, Jules Koundé is a doubt with an ankle sprain, and Andreas Christensen and Xavi Espart are out. Dani Olmo is still missing too. The good news? Flick confirmed Frenkie de Jong is back in training and available.
Alavés: Facundo Garcés and Mikel Rodríguez are out injured.
Official line-ups come out an hour before kick-off.
What is at stake
Barcelona need to bounce back before a huge eight days: Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, then Atlético away next Sunday. Every game coming up is in our football TV guide for this week.
