Barcelona's pursuit of La Liga leaders Real Madrid will continue on Sunday evening, with the Catalan outfit welcoming Real Sociedad to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Hansi Flick's side are currently second in the La Liga table, two points behind division leaders Real Madrid, while Real Sociedad are down in 16th spot, having only picked up five points from their first six matches.
Barcelona were given a scare by Real Oviedo on Thursday, falling behind to the promoted outfit in the first period, but they then managed to score three times without reply to record a 3-1 victory.
The Catalan side have a record of five wins and one draw from their six league matches this season, with 16 points leaving them second in the La Liga table, two points behind division leaders Real Madrid, who will tackle Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby on Saturday afternoon.
In all competitions, Barcelona have six wins from seven matches this term, also triumphing against Newcastle United in their Champions League opener on September 18, and next up for Flick's side in the competition is a home fixture against the holders Paris Saint-Germain on October 1.
The room for error is small at the moment due to Real Madrid's excellent form, and it would be a setback for Barcelona if they were unable to collect all three points against Real Sociedad.
