We're underway at the Butarque.
Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Leganes and Barcelona at the Butarque.
Barcelona have not been the imperious outfit of old this season, although they remain top of the table. They've lost three of their 13 matches in the campaign, including a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Levante in their last road outing. Ernesto Valverde's men did regain their form with a 4-1 hammering of Celta Vigo, but it has only kept them ahead of Real Madrid on goal difference. Barca cannot afford to be sloppy today.
LEGANES (5-3-2): Ivan Cuellar; Roberto Rosales, Unai Bustinza, Kenneth Omeruo, Dimitrios Siovas, Jonathan Silva; Oscar Rodriguez, Roque Mesa, Ruben Perez; Martin Braithwaite, Youssef En-Nesyri.
BARCELONA (4-2-3-1): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Moussa Wague, Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets; Ousmane Dembele, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann; Luis Suarez.
BARCELONA SUBS: Ivan Rakitic, Neto, Carles Alena, Arturo Vidal, Ansu Fati, Ronald Araujo, Dani Morer.
LEGANES SUBS: Jose Arnaiz, Chidozie Awaziem, Juan Soriano, Rodrigo Tarin, Javier Eraso, Guido Carrillo, Aitor Ruibal.
Domestic action returns after the international break and Leganes are in need of a positive result against the league leaders to aid their plight at the bottom. The club have taken only six points from their 13 matches to date, although they ended a run of back-to-back defeats last time out against Real Sociedad, playing out a 1-1 draw on the road in Javier Aguirre's first match in charge. The new manager will need another spirited effort this afternoon from his team.
Ernesto Valverde will be slightly concerned with his side's performance. They've been poor on the road this term and the opening 45 minutes will have increased his anxiety over their displays away from the Nou Camp. He has played his four big names in the final third and they've looked disjointed in their attacking play. Valverde will not want to make changes, but he may have to to get a response in the second period.
Leganes are next in action in LaLiga next Sunday against Sevilla on the road, while Barcelona face Borussia Dortmund in their next game in the Champions League on Wednesday at home.
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
