    Ferran Torres has provided Barcelona with a real spark here.

    The Spain forward cuts inside from the left and forces Almeria stopper Luis Maximiano into a smart save.

    Almeria look like they've switched from five in defence to a flat-back four. A sign of their growing ambition?

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Away we go again and Ferran Torres and Jules Kounde are indeed both on for the hosts in place of Andreas Christensen and Joao Felix.

    HT: Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Ferran Torres is stripped off and ready to go for Barcelona. Changes incoming for Xavi's side by the looks of it because Jules Kounde is also at the side of the pitch and Andreas Christensen and Joao Felix are nowhere to be seen.

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Who'd have thought we'd be 1-1 at the half-way mark. Barcelona have only themselves to blame and trudge off to a few whistles from the stands.

    Almeria deserve to be level.

    Alex Pozo drills an effort in on goal for the visitors which is saved. Almeria fancy this now.

    Ilkay Gündogan goes down like he's shot but the replays show there's very minimal contact between Almeria's Dion Lopy and the Barcelona man.

    Leo Baptistao

    Almeria's Leo Baptistao has his fourth goal in La Liga confirmed.

    The Brazilian forward was played onside by Ronald Araujo and the Barca defender is not happy about it.

    It is Baptistao's first ever goal against Barcelona. Until today he had faced them 11 times without scoring.

    Leo Baptistao thinks he has equalised for Almeria here after running through and clipping the ball over Barca keeper Inaki Pena.....

    Robert Lewandowski almost makes it two for the hosts. That's a great save from Luís Maximiano. Barca looking a lot more threatening.

    That Raphinha goal is his third in La Liga this season and he has contributed to goals in his last four games in the Spanish top flight (also three assists).

    Raphinha

    Set-piece Kings.

    So far in this game all of Barca's best chances have come from corners and they find the net with an effort that Wimbledon's Crazy Gang or Sam Allardyce's Bolton side would have been happy with.

    Ronald Araujo gets up to win the first header and when the ball is saved by Luis Maximiano, Raphinha is there to ram the ball home from two yards.

    Does that count as a shot?

    A long ball into the Barcelona penalty area puts Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen in a spot of bother and Sergio Arribas toes the ball forward towards the home goal where it is easily picked up by Inaki Pena.

    Barca boss Xavi does not look happy on the bench.

    Prior to this match he said that his team must play with more conviction to avoid the setbacks they have suffered in recent games.

    So far they do not appear to have heeded his words.

    Largie Ramazani is looking lively on the break for Almeria. The former Charlton and Manchester United youth player looks pretty nippy, his only problem is that many of his teammates don't appear able to keep up with him.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Oh hello. Sergio Arribas plays a little give and go and leaves Andreas Christensen trailing on half way.

    There's nobody home behind Barca's Danish defender who picks up a yellow card for just pulling his opponent to the ground.
