Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Barcelona and Real Valladolid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Camp Nou. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

Mingueza header saved! The Barcelona defender made a good run into the box and sent a header towards goal, but the effort was straight at Masip and the goalkeeper saves.

This has been quite the start from Real Valladolid. They are down near the wrong end of La Liga, but this is a team that is capable of scoring goals and causing problems.

Off the crossbar! Inches away from a Real Valladolid goal! Kodro got on the end of a cross into the box from the left wing, his connection was pure and ter Stegen was beaten! It comes off the woodwork!

A win here would mean that Barcelona could go top of La Liga with a victory over Real Madrid in El Clasico on Saturday. It's been quite a turnaround by the Catalan club recently.

Real Valladolid have settled pretty well in the opening five minutes of this match. Kodro was close to getting on the end of a cross into the middle, but Lenglet makes the intervention.

Something to note - both de Jong and Messi are just one yellow card away from a suspension in La Liga. Barcelona's next league game? El Clasico against Real Madrid this weekend.

What sort of match will we get this evening? Barcelona are undoubtedly strong favourites and will be expected to claim all three points in convincing fashion. Can they deliver on that?

The match is under way! It's Barcelona against Real Valladolid in this La Liga fixture!

Okay, here we go. We are about to get under in this La Liga fixture. Kick off is coming up shortly.

The two teams are out on the pitch at the Camp Nou. It looks like a pleasant evening in Catalonia.

Anything from this match would be a bonus for Real Valladolid who are merely concerned with staying in the division.

Not long until kick off at the Camp Nou. Only a victory will do for Barcelona this evening as they attempt to catch Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga. Anything less would be a disappointment.

Barcelona can move to within just one point of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga with a victory this evening. Koeman's side have built some momentum over the last couple months.

Is it a back three? Mingueza starts for Barcelona this evening which means it could be a back three for the Catalans. It really depends on whether de Jong is at centre back or in central midfield.
