Barcelona vs Leganes LIVE! Latest score, team news, LaLiga updates and commentary stream for tonight's match

Barcelona vs Leganes LIVE!

LaLiga leaders Barcelona return to action this evening as they welcome Leganes to an empty Camp Nou.

A 4-0 away win at Mallorca kicked off their title defence in style, before Real Madrid hit three past Eibar to keep the title race gap at two points.

Lionel Messi was back amongst the goals - as ever - at the weekend and should be joined in the starting line-up by Luis Suarez tonight.

With kick-off scheduled for 9pm BST, follow all the action with our Spanish football correspondent Ben Hayward!

Prediction: Barcelona 4-1 Leganes

Barcelona looked in particularly imperious form on Saturday and did not have to break much of a sweat to brush aside the challenge of Mallorca.

With Messi playing the role of conductor with trademark panache, they will be heavy favourites to produce a similarly dominant display against a Leganes team that have won just once on their travels all season and were powerless to prevent key Danish forward Braithwaite from joining the leaders on an emergency deal outside the transfer window in February.

By contrast, Barca have not lost a single home contest in LaLiga this term, winning 13 and drawing once.

This should be another one-sided encounter and second successive big win for the Blaugrana.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Barcelona edged out Leganes 2-1 in their last LaLiga meeting in November, with Luis Suarez and Vidal on the scoresheet at Butarque.

Javier Aguirre's men will have bad memories of their last trip to Camp Nou in January, when a Messi brace and goals from Antoine Griezmann, Clement Lenglet and Arthur saw them demolished 5-0 in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.

Leganes did manage to beat Barca 2-1 at home last season, but lost 3-1 away.
