Barcelona vs. Athletic: What's the story?

Barcelona entered the November international break off the back of a 4-2 success over Celta Vigo, and they were able to close the gap on leaders Real Madrid to three points, with the capital side drawing 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano.

Hansi Flick's side will now be aiming to record their 10th win of the campaign on Saturday, although a victory would not move them into first, with Real Madrid having the stronger head-to-head record.

Athletic, meanwhile, beat Real Oviedo 1-0 before the international break, but it has been a tough season to date for the Basque outfit, who sit down in seventh spot in the division on 17 points.

The Lions will be aiming to record a first away league win over Barcelona since November 2001.
