Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Girona and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 7.45pm.

ONE OF YOU! Vidal and Paulinho link up inside the penalty area to create the shooting chance for themselves, but the two players get in each other's way just as they prepare to take aim.

It's unsual to see a Barcelona team without Busquets as the anchor in the centre of their midfield. The Spanish international has been given a rest tonight ahead of the Champions League next week.

TER STEGEN SAVES! Luiz takes aim from the edge of the box for Girona, drawing the diving save from the Barcelona goalkeeper. The hosts are definitely growing in confidence, here.

Messi is asking the referee for some protection from the referee. The Barcelona number 10 has been on the end of some special treatment from some of the Girona players early on.

Girona have settled into this game now and are starting to create some chances of their own. Or rather, they are trying to create some chances, pressing and probing on the edge of the box.

What was that? Iniesta plays the ball into the box for Suarez but the former Liverpool striker sends his shot well wide. It wasn't even close to finding the target. What was the idea there?

There are changes in the middle of the park for Barcelona, with Paulinho partnering Rakitic. Those two should give the visitors some through the centre. A different dimension.

Suarez hasn't been in the best of form this season. He only has one goal to his name so far this campaign and he was atrocious against Getafe last weekend. Maybe the worst display of his career.

Well, it's not often you see that. Messi had about a half yard on his marker, but the Argentine's touch let him down and Gorka could come off his line to gather the ball at his feet.

Valverde has made a number of changes for this match. Of course, Barcelona have a Champions League group game against Sporting Lisbon next week. He's rotating with that game in mind.

VIDAL DRAWS THE SAVE! That's the first time Gorka has been called into action for Girona, with the goalkeper making the save to deny Vidal from a tight angle. Good effort.

So this is a first for La Liga. This is the first ever Catalan derby between these two clubs in the top flight of the Spanish league system. Girona have waited a long, long time for this game.

The match is under way between Girona and Barcelona!
