La Liga leader Barcelona travels to Alaves hoping to hold down its three-point cushion at the top of the table. Watch the game free on Fubo.
After losing its perfect record in La Liga, Barcelona is on a path to redemption when it visits Alaves in its return to the domestic schedule on Sunday. The Blaugrana suffered a 4-2 disappointment on the road to Osasuna last weekend and is all of a sudden within reach for a Real Madrid side in hot pursuit, with Villarreal and Atletico Madrid not far behind, either. Alaves, meanwhile, has lost three of its last four games but remains undefeated at the Estadio de Mendizorroza so far this season, hoping to hand Barca fresh disappointment when Hansi Flick’s men come to the Basque Country.
