Good evening and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Athletic Club and Barcelona. We’ll bring you all the action as it happens at San Mames. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

PICTURE: Messi scored Barca's second

For a while, it seemed that Koeman favoured a centre back pairing of Araujo and Mingueza, but Lenglet has returned to the starting lineup recently after a difficult run of a few error-prone games.

Injuries to so many defenders, including Pique, have forced Koeman to look to different options. This has seen Araujo and Mingueza play a lot of matches for Barcelona recently at the heart of the defence.

Barcelona responded well to going behind early on. In fact, if it wasn't for that early goal this would have been their best performance of the season so far. Very dangerous, on the whole.

The second half is under way at San Mames! Barcelona have a 2-1 lead over Athletic Club!

HALF TIME: Athletic Club 1-2 Barcelona. Williams gave Marcelino's side an early lead, but Barcelona have responded well and deserve to be ahead at the half time interval. Impressive.

Athletic Club are passing the ball around their defence as Barcelona stand off them. It very much feels like the home side are just trying to get to half time so they can regroup.

There will be two minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the first half.

Just past the post! Messi was in behind, the flag was down, but the Barcelona could only roll a timid finish past the post. The Catalans won't want to hear the half time whistle. On top!

Barcelona suffered a shaky start to this match, falling behind after just three minutes, but they have played well since then. Koeman will be pleased with the response from his players.

PICTURE: Pedri scored the equaliser

Simon save! This time the Athletic Club goalkeeper makes a flying save to prevent Griezmann from finding the back of the net with a powerful strike from just inside the box!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Athletic Club 1 Barcelona 2 (38 mins - Lionel Messi). The Catalans have turned this game around and it's Messi who has found the back of the net! The Argentine was set up for the finish by Pedri, but questions will be asked of Simon who looked to be out of position. And he slipped as well!

Dangerous cross from the right! Capa burst down the right side and got the low cross into the middle, but once again there was nobody in the penalty area to convert the chance.

Simon makes the save! Dembele created the shooting opportunity on the edge of the opposition box, but the Athletic Club goalkeeper was behind the strike from the Frenchman and makes the save.

Pique is still sidelined for Barcelona. The Catalans have missed the presence of their spiritual leader at the back. They have been defensively vulnerable all the way through the season.

Here's the expected change and it's Balenziaga who comes on for the injured Berchiche.

Berchiche injury! It looks like Marcelino will be forced into a first half change. Berchiche looks to have picked up a hamstring injury and indeed Athletic Club will have to change their left back.

Vesga becomes the first player to enter the referee's book for hacking down Dembele.
