Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao LIVE!
Barca need a return to winning ways at Camp Nou tonight after Quique Setien's LaLiga champions lost control of the title race.
A goalless draw for Barca at Sevilla on Friday night offered Real Madrid the opportunity to reel in the Blaugrana, and a 2-1 win at Sociedad saw Los Blancos leapfrog their rivals to claim top spot.
Barca and Real are level on 65 points, but Zinedine Zidane's side lead the table by virtue of a superior head-to-head record.
Setien's side must keep the pressure on against Athletic Club - and it could be historic night for Lionel Messi as he chases his 700th career goal.

Prediction: Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Club
Given Barca have not beaten Athletic in their last three LaLiga meetings, this should prove to be another tight affair - but expect a little Messi magic to decide things.
