Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Camp Nou. Kick off is at 15:15 GMT.

PICTURE: Friends reunited

Pique starts again in central defence for Barcelona. He missed a big chunk of the season through injury but has slotted back in seamlessly. Such an important figure for the Catalans.

No sign of Koeman on the touchline this afternoon. The Dutchman was handed a two-match suspension after being sent off in the win over Getafe last week. His assistant in the dugout today.

300 Atleti games for Oblak!

Still trying to figure out this formation and approach from Atletico Madrid. They seem to be in a back five, but Carrasco appears to be in a position high on the wings. Which is unusual.

First shot of the match! Lemar drives into the Barcelona box and gets the low strike away, it was on target, but ter Stegen got down to make the comfortable save from the Frenchman!

Barcelona are playing in their traditional home colours while Atletico Madrid are wearing red shorts. Because their blue shorts would have clashed with Barca's blue shorts. Or something.

What sort of match will we get this afternoon? This could be a season-defining game for both sides. The outcome of this one will have a big bearing on where the Spanish title heads this season.

The match is under way! It's Barcelona against Atletico Madrid in this crucial La Liga fixture!

Okay, here we go. We are about to get under way at Camp Nou. Kick off is just moments away!

The two teams are in the tunnel at Camp Nou about to walk out on to the hallowed turf at this famous old venue.

Such a shame that there are no fans in the stands at Camp Nou today. There would have been such a great atmosphere!

Not long until kick off at Camp Nou. This has the potential to be a massive match in the Spanish title race. There's just two points between these two teams with Real Madrid and Sevilla also in the mix.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of this match. Who do you see as favourites? Just how big is this game in the title race? Tweet me - @grahamruthven!

Suarez returns to Camp Nou! The Uruguayan striker is fit enough to start for Atletico Madrid on his return to his former club! Can Suarez make the difference for the capital side?

No real surprises from Koeman in terms of his team selection for this one. Looks like a back three for Barcelona with Alba and Dest in the wing back positions. No Roberto in the lineup.
