The match is under way! It's Sporting Gijon against Barcelona in La Liga. Stick with us for live updates.

Barcelona go six points clear at the top of La Liga, with Messi scoring his 300th and 301st league goals. A historical night for the Argentine number 10, and there was also a landmark goal for Suarez - who has now scored 40 times this season. This Barca team is a machine right now.

FULL-TIME: Sporting Gijon 1-3 Barcelona

The tempo has dropped out of this game since Suarez scored Barcelona's third of the night, but that was perhaps natural and to be expected. Sporting have played well in general, though.

YELLOW CARD: Roberto Canella (Sporting Gijon)

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.

Barcelona are on the brink of opening up a six point lead at the top of the Liga table. This will also make it seven Liga wins in a row, and 31 matches unbeaten - stretching the record.

Barcelona are just suffocating this game now. The introduction of Mascherano has done them good, with the Argentine quite simply spraying the passes around from his deep position.

There appears to be no fightback from Sporting Gijon in the offing. They went toe-to-toe with Barcelona in the first half, but they have been distinctly second best since the restart.

That yellow card shown to Busquets was a costly one. He will now miss Barcelona's next match, although it is a trip to the Canary Islands. A cynic would say it was a deliberate booking...

Barcelona sub: Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique OFF, Javier Mascherano and Marc Bartra ON.

Neymar doesn't look too happy with things at the moment. He has only scored once in his last five appearances, and hasn't had his best game this evening. He badly wants to notch.

YELLOW CARD: Sergio Busquets (Barcelona)

Barcelona still don't look too sure of themselves at the back, even with this cushion. This time they scramble away a corner kick delivery from Sporting Gijon. Not too convincing.

IT WAS JUST TOO STRONG! Suarez and Messi link up wonderfully again, but the pass from the latter for the former was a little weighty and Cuellar comes off his line to gather it.

Still no changes made by Barcelona. Enrique is sticking with what he has for the time being, which is surprising given that this match was won when Suarez scored their third.

Sporting Gijon sub: Alex Menendez OFF, Alex Barrera ON.

This win will take Barcelona three points clear at the top of the Liga table. Of course, Real Madrid are in Champions League action tonight - facing Roma in the round of 16.
