La Liga LIVE - Barcelona go eight points clear on top of table as Lewandowski and Raphinha strikes down Real Betis

Moments after that chance - the biggest of the match so far - Iglesias finds space for a shot at the other end but blasts high into the Seville sky.

Almost a wonderful goal from the youngster! He picks up the ball just inside the area and dribbles past two defenders with quick feet, but he's denied by an outstretched hand as he tries to round Silva. Great goalkeeping!

Fekir is tripped to win a free-kick near the corner flag, but the inswinging delivery is punched clear by Ter Stegen.

There's a good pace to this game, which is swinging from end to end.

Balde surges forward and wins a corner, which comes in dangerously to Lewandowski, but the Pole can't make a clean contact and glances it wide. That was a decent chance.

Another decent chance for Betis as Ruibal catches Balde in possession and Iglesias pounces on the loose ball.

The striker can't find space for a shot though, and the referee isn't interested as he collides with a defender in the area.

That's better from the hosts! Carvalho's through ball is chased by Iglesias, who finds Henrique with a cross from the outside of his foot.

The Brazilian has a go, but his shot is deflected wide of the far post and the corner is cleared.

The chance comes to nothing as a ball is lofted into the box, but dealt with by the Betis defence.

Pellegrini's looking slightly concerned on the touchline - his side haven't mustered an attack yet.

Apologies, it was Raphinha with that early chance, not Lewandowski.

Barcelona, unsurprisingly, are dominating possession early on. Here's a free-kick midway into the Betis half...

Kounde knocks a long ball over the top for Raphinha to chase and he steps inside a defender before having his finish blocked - but the offside flag was up.

Aggressive start from Barca, but Balde's attempt to charge into the box is shut down by Carvalho. He did manage to nutmeg Ruibal, though.

And we're off, Betis getting the action underway. It's a fantastic atmosphere inside the Benito Villamarín Stadium tonight.

Right, attention is firmly set on Seville now. Kick-off is just five minutes away, so consider this a warning to get yourself sorted.

Safe to say it was a bonkers transfer deadline day - in the Premier League at least.

According to figures from Deloitte, Premier League clubs accounted for 79% of total spending across Europe’s ‘big five’ football leagues in January - marking the highest proportion ever reported.

Here's a look at some of the figures behind a window that further highlighted the economic discrepancy between leagues.

Of course, it's not just La Liga action we've got for you tonight on Eurosport.

Speaking of Pedri, here's what the midfielder's boss had to say about him after the weekend's win over Girona - and Xavi is a man who knows a thing or two about that position.

If Betis are going to get a result tonight, they will have to overcome some bad recent memories first.

The Seville club have a terrible record in this fixture, losing seven of their last eight meetings with Barcelona and conceding at least three goals on six of those occasions. Gulp.

One man to watch tonight is undoubtedly the prodigiously talented Pedri.

The 20-year-old Spain international scored the decisive goal in Barcelona’s last two La Liga wins and has found the net three times in his last five league outings – and again in the Super Cup final win over Real Madrid...

Barcelona have seemingly forgotten how to lose lately, and they will go eight points clear on top of La Liga with a win here, ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with Valencia tomorrow.

Xavi’s side haven’t lost since October, a run of 13 games in all competitions without defeat.

They’ve shown their ability to grind out results recently, too – their last three games have finished as 1-0 wins.

And here's the hosts' starting XI. They've done the good honest thing by naming the team in order of formation rather than number. 1-0 Betis, in our opinion.

Ruibal, Abner and Fekir come into the side in three changes from Saturday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Let's have a look at the teams, then. Barcelona are without Dembele, who has a thigh injury.

But the good news for those of a Barca persuasion is that Lewandowski and Torres are back following suspensions. The Pole starts, with Ferran on the bench.

This should be fun. Barcelona haven't lost since October - could tonight be the night?

They were pushed all the way by Real Betis just a couple of weeks ago, when their Super Cup semi-final clash went all the way to penalties, where the Catalans triumphed.

But this time the game is on Betis' turf in Seville, and Manuel Pellegrini's side are sure to be eyeing a famous win in front of their own fans.
