Barcelona vs Villarreal
La Liga 2018-19
Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona
Date: Sunday, December 2, 2018
Kick-off: 5:30pm GMT
La Liga champions Barcelona are back in action on tonight as they seek to chase down current table-toppers Sevilla.
Barca have picked up just one point from their last two league games, allowing Sevilla to leapfrog them into top spot.
Ernesto Valverde's side have scored 35 goals - 10 more than any other side - but a leaky defence has cost them a number of times this season. Villarreal are languishing in 16th place, but will have hopes of an upset given Barca's recent troubles.
