Barcelona have spent the week coming to terms with the Clasico defeat to Real Madrid.

It was an unexpected result for Hansi Flick’s men, who had enjoyed a perfect start to the Liga season, winning every one of their first nine games.

Flick will demand a response against an Alaves wide who beat Barca when the sides last met. Ibrahim Diabate scored the only goal in May, just days after Barca had been crowned champions.

The Babazorros enter this game in poor form, despite sitting seventh with 12 points. Alaves have lost four and drawn two of their last six league games, equalising in the 89th minute to draw 1-1 at home to Malaga last time out.
