Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this LaLiga match between Osasuna and Barcelona at Estadio El Sadar.
Osasuna continued their strong start to the season last time out with a 2-1 away win over Celta Vigo, leaving them sixth as this game kicks off. The side from Pamplona have picked up five wins from their seven home games in LaLiga so far, their highest tally at this stage of a campaign since 2005-06 when they finished fourth. How they'd love to repeat that finish again.
Barca made it four wins on the spin last weekend against Almeria to send them top of the league table. The Catalans have taken 34 points from their first 13 games, their joint-fourth highest tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign, and have conceded a mere four goals. Xavi's men have started as they mean to go on.
OSASUNA (4-4-2): Aitor Fernandez; Nacho Vidal, Unai Garcia, David García (c), Alvaro Juan Cruz Armada; Aimar Oroz, Lucas Torro, Jon Moncayola, Moi Gomez; Ruben Garcia, Chimy Avila.
SUBS: Manuel Sanchez, Kike Garcia, Juan Perez, Aridane Hernandez, Sergio Herrer, Kike Barja, Darko Brasanac, Ruben Pena, Pablo Ibanez, Roberto Torres, Ante Budimir.
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Alejandro Balde, Andreas Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba; Pedri, Sergio Busquets (c), Frenkie de Jong; Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres.
SUBS: Raphinha, Eric Garcia, Arnau Tenas, Ansu Fati, Gerard Pique, Marc Casado, Pablo Gaviria, Chadi Riad, Pablo Torre, Hector Bellerin, Inaki Pena.
Barca can now enjoy the World Cup break knowing their top spot in LaLiga is secure. If their luck stays this way, they can be confident of staying there until the end of the season. That's all for now. Goodbye!
