Levante have an impressive record against Barca of late, winning on this ground three of the last five times the Catalans have visited.

Levante, currently seven points from safety, could really do with pulling off another surprise win this evening.

Levante: Cardenas, Miramon, Vezo, Rober Pier, Postigo, Son, Radoja, Pepelu, Campana, Morales, Roger.

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Alves, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba, Busquets, De Jong, Nico, Dembele, Aubameyang, Torres.

The first leg of the Europa League quarter-final between Frankfurt and Barca ended in a 1-1 draw... but was it a missed opportunity for the Bundesliga outfit?

"Against a top rival they will be very motivated. More recently they have been getting good results, in their last three games at home they have won seven points. They won at the Wanda Metropolitano. They will be a tough opponent, similar to Eintracht. We need these three points at a stadium that’s been difficult for Barca in recent seasons."

'DON'T SCOFF IF BARCA DON'T WIN THE EUROPA LEAGUE'

"Winning the Europa League and finishing second in La Liga. For one season, and one season only, Barcelona would take this," writes Michael Hincks.

Jose Luis Morales, fresh from netting a brace in the terrific win over Villarreal, features in Levante's XI. However, the hosts are missing a number of players including Shkodran Mustafi and Roberto Soldado.

Gerard Pique misses out with a groin problem so in comes Dani Alves to play at right-back as Ronald Araujo comes into the heart of defence. Frenkie de Jong replaces Gavi in midfield. Adama Traore and Pedri have to make do with a place on the bench.

Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Barcelona's La Liga clash at Levante.

Xavi's side have hit top gear domestically and can make it seven straight victories if they can find a way past struggling Levante. A win would also narrow the gap on leaders Real Madrid to 12 points - still far too much to make up, of course.
