Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Barcelona and Eibar. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Camp Nou. Kick off is at 5.30pm.

Eibar have yet to take a single point against Barcelona in La Liga. Ever. Of course, they have only played each other eight times in the league, but still. The omens aren't great.

Eibar are down in 13th place in the La Liga table at the moment. However, the table is so tight that one or two wins can be the difference between a crisis and a European challenge.

Messi is out on the right side of the pitch for the early stages of this match. The Barcelona number 10 curls a cross into the Eibar box, but it's too close to the goalkeeper.

Barcelona are strong favourites to win this one, but they did suffer a defeat to Levante during the week. However, that was a Copa Del Rey match and Messi and Suarez were rested.

The selection of Coutinho ahead of Dembele for this match today was something of a surprise. Dembele has been impressive for Barcelona in recent weeks and months.

The match is under way at Camp Nou! It's Barcelona against Eibar in La Liga.

Okay, here we go. About to get started at Camp Nou. Kick off is just seconds away.

This match marks the end of the first half of the season in La Liga. After this, it's the return fixtures.

Big night for Coutinho, as already mentioned. He needs to show that he can fit into this Barcelona team.

Not long until kick off at Camp Nou. Barcelona need to start dropping some points to prevent this from being another procession at the top of La Liga.

The last time Eibar came to Camp Nou they suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat. Will they fare better this around? Can Barcelona inflict the same sort of damage on the Basque side?

Atletico Madrid beat Levante earlier today to cut Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga. However, the Catalans still have a two-point advantage and they can make it five points again tonight.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. Is there any way that Eibar can cause an upset at Camp Nou? Tweet me!

Coutinho starts! He's been a peripheral figure in recent weeks for Barcelona, but Coutinho has been handed a start this evening. The Brazilian starts alongside Messi and Suarez.
