Preview: Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona - prediction, team news

                                                     BARCELONA 1-0 ATHLETIC BILBAO

It's all over and it's job done from Barcelona. Not the most convincing victory you'll see but at this stage of the season that doesn't really matter.

Barca return to winning ways to open up a three-point lead at the top of La Liga, applying the pressure on previous leaders Real Madrid ahead of their game with Mallorca on Wednesday.

Barcelona push for a game-clinching second as Alba's deep cross is volleyed towards goal by Vidal, drawing a fine save from Unai Simon.

Fati latches onto the rebound and lashes it towards the goal, firing it against the base of the post from six yards. He really should have scored from there.
