Match Facts:
Barcelona (2nd, 42 pts):
- The Azulgranas are unbeaten in their last 13 league games, although their draw with Real Betis last matchday saw Luis Enrique's men drop four points off the pace at the top again.
- The Catalans have won their last 12 home meetings with Athletic in LaLiga Santander. Los Leones haven't prevailed at the Camp Nou since the 2001/02 season, when they triumphed 2-1.
Athletic (7th, 32 pts):
- Ernesto Valverde's troops have yet to lose in LaLiga Santander this calendar year and have put points on the board in their last five league fixtures.
- However, the Basques have been defeated in 2017 and that reverse came at none other than the Camp Nou, in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Athletic took a 2-1 first-leg lead to the Catalan capital, only to succumb 3-1 in the return match and be knocked out of the competition in the process.
