Barcelona vs Almeria takes place on Saturday as the Catalan side look to maintain their push to take control of the Spanish La Liga.
Barcelona will be chasing their 12th straight league win today, and they look a team back to their irresistible best. The game today kicks off at 12 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.
Barcelona will be traveling on the road down the Mediterranean coast for today's game against a struggling Almeria.
Not many give the home side a hope today – while Barca have started the season undefeated, newly promoted Almeria have struggled badly, and have failed to claim a win yet so far this season. It would be a massive shock if Almeria were able to knock high flying Barcelona off their high perch today.
Despite not yet winning in the league this season, Almeria have not been as bad as their results have made out, and they have come close a few times to claiming three points. However, they have been unable to get over the finish line.
But they face an entirely different challenge today from Lionel Messi and Co. and it would be unthinkable in most people's minds that Almeria could pull off any kind of shock and most are expecting a hat-full of goals from Barcelona today.
Both Jordi Alba and Javier Mascherano are out of today's game, unavailable due to injury.
Meanwhile, captain Carles Puyol could play if his knee is judged to be ready, but they might not risk him, and given the opposition today it is more likely that Marc Bartra will start along side Gerard Piqué in the central defense.
Cesc Fabregas could also make a return to the starting line up after getting rested during mid-week.
This will be the third game in the last nine days for each club.
