Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona LIVE
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: San Mames
Kick-off time: 7:45pm GMT, tonight
After all the excitement of a midweek Clasico, Barcelona turn their focus back to LaLiga duty as the leaders travel to face Athletic Bilbao at San Mames.
While their place in a sixth consecutive Copa del Rey final hangs in the balance after Malcom's impressive equaliser in a 1-1 semi-final first-leg draw against Real Madrid, Ernesto Valverde's side have a golden chance to extend their Liga lead.
Real beat rivals Atletico in Saturday's Madrid derby to leapfrog their neighbours into second place, but that result means Barca can build an eight-point gap in the title race with a win tonight.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona
Barcelona will be eager not to drop more points this weekend after that scare against Valencia and potentially open the door further to Atletico, who face Real in the Madrid derby.
Regardless of whether Messi starts or not, the visitors should have enough to secure a comfortable victory.
