Sergio Busquets finds Lionel Messi, who takes the ball in his stride and attempts a volley but it's blocked. Famous last words, but I think Messi will get his 700th goal today.

Lionel Messi plays in a fantastic through ball, which Luis Suarez cuts back just before it goes out of play. The keeper is out of contention but Arturo Vidal can't quite get the ball under control.

Remarkably this is Inaki Williams' 150th consecutive La Liga appearance for Athletic. He hasn't missed a league game since 2016.

He is involved in a good move with Inigo Lekue but can't get on the end of it.

Athletic have a corner on the right wing. They cleverly play it short and whip in an excellent cross which Yeray Álvarez heads just over the bar. Yeray should have done better and he knows it.

Luis Suarez plays a one-two with Lionel Messi and Athletic keeper Unai Simon does well to speed off his line and grab the ball before Suarez reaches it.

We've had seven shots so far, 4-3 to Barcelona, with two on target - both for Barca.

More magic feet from Lionel Messi and he finds Luis Suarez in acres of space on the corner of the box, but the veteran drags his shot well wide of the far post.

End to end, this is a great game so far. Antoine Griezmann lets the ball run to Luis Suarez. He runs on and expects a return ball but Suarez shoots himself from 20 yards and it's saved.

Athletic striker Inaki Williams is some player. He races onto a long ball forward and smashes a first-time shot into the side-netting. Marc-Andre ter Stegen didn't look too concerned but I think it was a bit closer than he realised.

Barcelona look a bit sloppy at the back (what's new?) and Athletic's Mikel Balenziaga blasts a shot in from 30 yards which is well wide.

Three Unais in the Athletic line-up today and two Inigos.

Lionel Messi looks in the mood - big time. He swivels his hips to get free of a defender and then tries to chip the keeper from outside the box. Unai Simon gathers with ease.

Some brilliant footwork from Lionel Messi on the edge of the box but he eventually loses out before entering the box.

A strange clearance from Marc-Andre ter Stegen as he boots the ball hard but quite low. No Athletic player can control it and then Unai Nunez slices it all the way back to his keeper. If Luis Suarez had been alert there he could have been in.

Barcelona have lost only one of their last 70 La Liga home matches, 4-3 against Real Betis on 11 November 2018.

They have won 14 and drawn one of their 15 home games this season in the league, only failing to win El Clasico.

Couple of half-chances for Barcelona. Luis Suarez slips as he tries to shoot and a defender pokes the ball out to Sergio Busquets, whose 20-yarder is blocked.

A big scare for Barcelona. The corner is played short and then Unai Lopez whips in a really dangerous low cross. Marc-Andre ter Stegen has to get down low to keep the cross out of his net and stop it finding an attacker.

Corner to Athletic as Gerard Pique blocks a cross.

Barcelona get the ball into the box early doors but a stretching Luis Suarez can't get on the end of it.

We are under way.
