Real Sociedad will visit Catalonia on Sunday to face off against Barcelona who are currently sitting top of the La Liga standings. 

The San Sebastian side are currently 9th in the table but considering their start to the season they have done very well to climb back up from the relegation zone.

Sociedad were narrowly beaten in the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid so they will be hopeful they have a chance to get something against Hansi Flick’s side
