Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona - live updates

Busquets slides him in but de Marcos comes across to snuff out the danger.

A very tough start for the Spanish international but Bilbao have been exceptional so far and could easily be further in front.

Berchiche got to the by-line and lasered a ball back to Williams who took an airshot and the ball struck his standing leg.

A dangerous low cross from the left flank on this occasion which Pique desperately clears.

And what a finish! Williams raced down the right and cut a dangerous ball across the box which evaded everyone only for Muniain to retrieve it and under little pressure curl past ter Stegen inside the far post.

Real Madrid out of jail

Before we kick off it is worth noting goals from Isco and Eden Hazard of all people have overturned an extra time deficit to Elche.

Bilbao haven't been in action for 11 days, while Barcelona's last outing was the 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Supercopa after extra time eight days ago.

Both escaped possible upsets with Bilbao winning 2-0 at Atletico Mancha Real and Barcelona 2-1 victors over Linares Deportivo.

This will be the main talking point of the evening. Barcelona desperately need a star forward, can the ex-Manchester City fill at least part of the void left by you know who.
