Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Levante and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 15:00 GMT.

There's the change, but it's not Ansu who comes on for Suarez. It's Perez!

Suarez is still on the pitch for the time being, but Barcelona are going to make the change. Is this a serious injury for the Uruguayan striker? Or is Valverde just taking precautions?

Barcelona are somewhat fortunate to be ahead given how they have played this first half, but there was no debate over the award of the penalty kick. Semedo was cleaned out.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Levante 0 Barcelona 1 (38 mins - Lionel Messi pen). Barcelona haven't been at their best in this first half, but they have the lead! Messi steps up to the 12-yard mark and finds the back of the net, sending Aitor the wrong way. That was emphatic from the Argentine! The Catalans have the advantage.

PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA! Miramon clattered into Semedo after the Barcelona full back was played in behind by Arthur and the referee points to the spot.

It also seems that Pique is still struggling with the thigh injury he sustained a few minutes ago. Although unlike Suarez is appears that he is going to stay on the pitch... for now.

Suarez injured! It looks like Barcelona will be forced into a first half change. Suarez appears to have picked up an injury. Ansu has been told to get ready off the bench by Valverde.

First Barcelona opportunity! Messi surged forward from the halfway line with the ball at his feet, threaded the pass through for Griezmann, but the Frenchman has his low shot saved by Aitor! Good stop by the keeper.

PICTURE: Nothing between the two teams so far.

It looks like Pique will be fine to continue, but that's something for Valverde to keep an eye on, especially with Barcelona taking on Slavia Prague in the Champions League next week.

Pique is down! This will be a concern for Valverde. Pique has pulled up. There wasn't much contact with Mayoral, but the Barcelona centre back held his thigh immediately. A worry.

Arthur played a wonderful diagonal ball out to Roberto. The Barcelona right back then knocked it down for Vidal, but the interception was made before it could get to the Chilean.

Levante were building up a head of steam not so long ago, but Barcelona are back in charge of this match. Although they are very disjointed in the final third of the pitch right now.

Griezmann's cross is cut out! Semedo's lovely little flick gets his French teammate in behind the Levante backline down the left side, but Griezmann couldn't pick out someone in the middle.

Griezmann plays a poor pass on the left wing and then is the man who retrieves a cross in the right back position. It's not quite happening for him, but he is willing to dig deep.

It's almost as if Barcelona look weary. Is it possible that Valverde hasn't rotated his team enough after their exerts in the mid-week games? Levante are quicker to everything.

It was Barcelona who enjoyed the better of the opening 10 minutes or so, but Levante have come into the game and are causing problems for the Catalans now. A decent contest.
