Barcelona will look to extend their lead at the top of La Liga as they head to the Basque Country to take on Alaves.  Barcelona made a superb start to the season under new boss Hansi Flick, with seven successive victories.

Alavés present the opportunity for Barça to maintain its three point lead over Real Madrid atop La Liga standings. Alavés sits 11th in La Liga following back to back defeats; however, it remains undefeated at the Estadio de Mendizorroza this season.

Reigning Spanish and European champions Real Madrid have started the season below their brilliant best and this week finally tumbled to a first defeat since January.
