Much, much better from Barcelona.

They move the ball quicker and almost get their reward, as Gavi breaks into the box but sees his powerful strike well saved by Andre Ferreira.

Barcelona had 86.9% possession in the opening 15 minutes of this game, to give you an idea of how this match has shaped up since Granada's early goal.

The hosts are more than happy to absorb the pressure and are doing a fine job of keeping Xavi's side away from dangerous areas with two well-organised lines of four.

Now Andre Ferreira is called into action, and that is a great stop to deny Joao Felix on the turn.

The Granada goalkeeper is quickly off his line and makes himself big to smother the attempt, which was certainly on target.

Ilkay Gundogan swings in a corner but, again, Granada's defence holds firm.

It's all quite pedestrian from Barcelona so far. Despite having control of the ball, they're yet to test goalkeeper Andre Ferreira.

Gavi's cross into the box is headed away, with Ferran Torres primed to meet it with a volley.

It's just not quite happening for Barcelona so far, but fortunately for Xavi's side they have plenty of time to figure out how to turn this around.

The visitors have settled in possession for the time being, but Granada are not allowing Barcelona to get anywhere fast.

A solid start by Granada.

Unsurprisingly, Bryan Zaragoza's goal after 17 seconds is the fastest goal in La Liga this season.

It must surely be up there with the quickest of all-time too.

Granada goalkeeper Andre Ferreira makes a comfortable catch as Barcelona continue to struggle to find any fluidity.

Barcelona are keen to make amends for that terrible start.

Ferran Torres has a shot blocked as the visitors dust themselves down and try to assert themselves.

Granada have collected points in each of their last three meetings with Barcelona in La Liga.

They also fought back from 3-0 down to earn a point against Almeria last week. Can they battle to a result again here?

We're under way!

I don't want to get you all too excited, but...

A league-high total of 34 goals have been scored in Granada's eight La Liga matches this season - 13 by Granada and 21 by their opponents.

Fingers crossed for a fun one.

On Saturday, Jude Bellingham continued his brilliant start to his Real Madrid career by scoring twice in a comfortable 4-0 home victory over Osasuna.

The 20-year-old has now scored 10 goals in his first 10 matches in all competitions for the Spanish giants.

Bellingham opened the scoring in the ninth minute, before doubling his side's lead in the second half.

Vinicius Junior and Joselu also scored in the hosts' 4-0 win, with the latter missing an 84th-minute penalty.

And here is how hosts Granada line up as they seek a morale-boosting result.

The hosts name four changes following a 3-3 draw with Almeria last time out, with forward Myrto Uzuni among those to come in.

Granada XI: Ferreira, Neva, Miquel, Rubio, Sanchez, Fernandez, Gumbau, Villar, Zaragoza, Boye, Uzuni.

Manager Xavi has named two changes from Barcelona's previous league match - a 1-0 win over Sevilla.

Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are both absent and replaced by Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Balde, Christensen, Kounde, Cancelo, Lopez, Gundogan, Gavi, Felix, Torres, Yamal.

Real Madrid are setting the early pace at the top of La Liga.

Tonight, Barcelona will aim to narrow the gap to a single point heading into the international break when they face Granada.

Xavi's side remain unbeaten after eight league matches, winning six of those.

But they find themselves four points behind bitter rivals Real, in third.

They will expect to improve on that this evening, with opponents Granada second from bottom - having won just once so far this season.
