    Barcelona 0-0 Real Sociedad

    Jordi Alba goes close for Barca - and then the offside flag goes up. He runs onto a long ball, cuts inside a couple of defenders and draws a save from Alex Remiro. Wouldn't have counted.

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Sociedad

    A good first touch by Martin Braithwaite to find a bit of space but then his cross is overhit.

    Lionel Messi shoots over the bar from 25 yards then.

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Sociedad

    Real Sociedad's Adnan Januzaj gets annoyed by the pressure he's getting from Oscar Mingueza and leaves an arm in the Barca defender's face.

    The Belgian gets a yellow card but it could have been worse.

    Lionel Messi is given the ball on the halfway line, he goes for a run but can't get past the last defender.

    A clever cushioned side-footed volley from Antoine Griezmann, but it goes just wide of the far post.

    Both of today's managers played the last time Barcelona did not win this fixture at the Nou Camp.

    Sorry for anyone checking in for David Silva, he's injured at the moment.

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Sociedad

    Martin Braithwaite is offside as he gets the ball on the left. This is his sixth start in seven games - not bad for what appeared to be a stop-gap signing last year.

    Barcelona v Real Sociedad (20:00 GMT)

    Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman: “We have to have more confidence in ourselves and have the ball to create danger and goalscoring opportunities.

    "Real Sociedad's success is in large part down to the coach's system. They have players who without the ball are excellent. They take risks playing from the back but we have things that can make it difficult for them.

    "In general we can't be happy with some of the results we have had in La Liga. We have lost games we should not have even though in the last game the attitude and performance was very good."
