Barcelona have a chance to climb to the top spot in La Liga (at least momentarily), but their trip to Eibar won't be a walk in the park.

What is Eibar and Barcelona's form's form ahead of this match?

Eibar gets to this match against the Blaugrana giants on a four-game streak without a loss, which includes two wins and two draws. Those two wins came in their last two home games, beating Sevilla (3-2) and Celta (2-0). Eibar can't allow any more setbacks in order to stay away from the relegation zone.

Barcelona enters this clash on a three-game winning streak, which has seen Los Culés score eight times and concede just once. Los Blaugranas need to improve when playing away from home, since they have only claimed one win in four games, with two losses and one draw.

What position do Eibar and Barcelona occupy prior to this game in La Liga?

Eibar is one of three teams with nine points, which has them ranked 14th in La Liga at the moment. This team has managed to score ten goals in eight games, but they have conceded the same amount, which has taken a serious toll on their chances of success.

Barcelona enters this clash in second place. Valverde's men were able to survive a slow start of the season, and they are now only two points behind Real Madrid. Los Blaugranas have won the same amount of games as Los Blancos, but two losses in eight games have seen them drop to second place and have their coach's tactics questioned several times.

Eibar vs Barcelona - Who's in and who's out

Coach José Luis Mendilibar will have to prepare this clash without three players. Gonzalo Escalante will be left out after being sent off, while Rober Correa and Iván Ramis will not be around due to their respective injuries.

Los culés will have major problems when putting up together their squad, with up to six players not being available for this clash. Gerard Piqué, Ronald Araujo and Ousmané Dembelé are out due to suspension, while Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo and Carles Pérez are still trying to return to adequate fitness levels, which rules them out for their trip to Eibar.
