    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    Chance for Barcelona as Lionel Messi takes a quick free-kick, picking out Junior Firpo with a 50-yard ball but the left-back's shot is blocked.

    Firpo was offside actually.

    This is Barcelona's 13th match of 2021, but only their second at home.

    They have played nine away games in La Liga and the Copa del Rey and two at neutral venues in the Spanish Super Cup.

    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    Alaves counter quickly from a poor Barcelona corner and Lucas Perez skies a shot into the stands. Waste.

    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    Pretty much every outfield player is in Alaves' half. It's a 10 v 10 attacking/defending training session.

    Alaves keeper Fernando Pacheco takes a risk by coming off his line but he denies Lionel Messi with a double save.

    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    This is Francisco Trincao's 18th La Liga appearance for Barcelona, but his first start. He cuts in from the right and slams a shot into the side-netting.

    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    Ilaix Moriba is a midfielder but has basically played as a striker so far. He has another header which doesn't reach the target.

    Barcelona 0-0 Alaves

    Chance for Barcelona after 90 seconds. Antoine Griezmann shows quick feet in the box but then has a shot blocked. The ball lands for La Liga debutant Ilaix Moriba but his header also hits a defender.

    Barcelona v Alaves (20:00 GMT)

    Barcelona hand a La Liga debut to 18-year-old central midfielder Ilaix Moriba.

    It's not the strongest line-up in the world, possibly with Tuesday's Champions League game with PSG in mind.

    Barcelona start this game fourth, 11 points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

    They could end it second.

    Atletico and Sevilla have both won their games today already. Real Madrid play tomorrow.

    Barcelona v Alaves (20:00 GMT)

    Things are looking up for Barcelona since the dark days of December.

    A win today over lowly Alaves would be a seventh La Liga victory in a row and take them up to second.
