Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Celta Vigo and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Balaidos. Kick off is at 8pm.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Celta Vigo 0 Barcelona 1 (36 mins - Ousmane Dembele). Barcelona have an opener against the run of play and it's Dembele who's got it! That was an instinctive finish from the Frenchman, lashing home a finish from just inside the penalty box.

That was an outstanding save from Ter Stegen. The German has enjoyed an excellent season for Barcelona. Should he start for his country at the World Cup this summer? There's a case.

ANOTHER TER STEGEN SAVE! Mendez comes close yet again! The ball was played to Mendez about 14 yards out, but Ter Stegen makes the flying save to deny him the opener.

Paulinho has been Barcelona's busiest player so far. The Brazilian is the one trying to make things happen for the away side. He's giving them a driving force in the final third.

Barcelona started this match well, but they have since fallen out of the contest. They looked lively in the final third, but Celta Vigo are looking to hit them on the counter attack.

MENDEZ SHOOTS AGAIN! Once again, the Celta Vigo man gets a shot away on the Barcelona goal, but this time it's tame and Ter Stegen has no trouble in making the save.

Celta Vigo's attackers are enjoying themselves. They are being afforded so much space in the opposition half. Barcelona seem to be quite happy to stand off the energetic home side.

PAULINHO OFF THE POST! The Brazilian midfielder rises highest from a corner kick and sends an effort towards goal. It beats Sergio, but bounces off the base of the post. Very close.

So the best two chances of the match so far have fallen the way of Celta Vigo. Will they rue thise missed opportunities or is this the sign of more to come for the home team?

SHOULD BE 1-0! Celta Vigo should be ahead. The hosts come flying forward on the counter attack, with Mendez set up for the golden chance, but he sends his shot wide of the far post.

Some pre-match shots...

Celta Vigo have probably been the better team in this first half so far. Barcelona have had more of the ball, but the home side are doing more with it in the final third of the pitch.

Indeed, Barcelona are looking to become the first team in Spanish football history to go a full 38-game league season without losing a game. So there is something on this match.

Of course, while Barcelona are resting players ahead of this weekend's Copa del Rey final, there's still something riding on this game. They have an unbeaten Liga season on the line.

JUST TOO MUCH! Sisto very nearly picks out the run of Wass in behind the Barcelona defence. The pass was a good one, but it skipped off the turf and out for a goal kick.

Even during games, Valverde has been accused of being too slow to change things. When things were going badly at Roma, he left Dembele on the bench until the 75th minute.

Barcelona have options all over the pitch, but Valverde has refused to use them for much of the campaign. Take Digne, for instance - why has he not featured more in rotation?

Should Valverde have played this sort of team earlier in the season? Barcelona have looked tired in recent weeks and some believe that's because he failed to rotate his squad enough.
