Where to watch
- Elche’s match against Barcelona will be broadcast in the United States on ESPN Select.
Barcelona head to the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero to face out-of-form Elche on Saturday, knowing that any kind of slip could see them relinquish their place at the top of La Liga.
The visitors find themselves just one point behind rivals Real Madrid, but a productive week that saw them secure a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo, followed by an emphatic 4-1 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League, means Hansi Flick’s men should go into this match full of confidence.
Meanwhile, mid-table Elche have made a strong return to La Liga after being promoted last season. However, a run of five games without a win in all competitions will have coach Eder Sarabia nervously looking over his shoulder, as the hosts enter this weekend’s match just three points above the relegation zone.
Elche faces Barcelona at Martinez Valero Stadium Saturday 31 January. Kick off is set for 8pm CET local time, 3pm ET or 12pm PT In the United States and Canada, 8pm GMT In the United Kingdom and 7am AEST Kick-off in Australia.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Barcelona in a 4-1 win over Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday.
