La Liga leaders Barcelona face mid-table Eibar at the Camp Nou on Sunday evening.

Ernesto Valverde’s men actually come off the back of a loss to Levante in the Copa del Rey on Thursday, but have won their last five league games.

Eibar have drawn their last five matches in all competitions, including a 0-0 at home to Villarreal last week; they are in 13th place on 22 points.

What time does it start?

Barcelona vs Eibar kicks off at 5:30pm (GMT) on Sunday 13 January.

Where can I watch it?

Barcelona vs Eibar will be shown live on Eleven Sports 1 from 5:25pm (GMT).

Highlights will be on the Eleven Sports website after the game.

Player to watch…

Luis Suarez: The Uruguayan scored a fantastic volley last week at Getafe, and has 17 goals to his name this season in all competitions. Despite this, the 31-year-old hasn’t scored at the Camp Nou since a hat-trick against Real Madrid in October.

GOAL! Real Betis 1-2 Real Madrid (Ceballos 88')

Dani Ceballos looks to have won it here for Madrid!

His free-kick is relatively simple: not particularly powerful, to the keeper's side, but Pau Lopez takes a critical step to the right, and he's wrong-footed as the ball sneaks into the corner.

The partisan home crowd are stunned!

FULL-TIME: Real Betis 1-2 Real Madrid 

Madrid have won it at the death!

Luka Modric opened the scoring, but ex-Madrid man Sergio Canales equalised after a VAR correction in the second-half. 

But Dani Ceballos' late free-kick secures three points for the visitors, as they move up to fourth - above Alaves - on 33 points. 

Missed opportunity for Betis that's for sure.

Real Betis stay in seventh, on 26 points.

That's it from us, on an afternoon where Barcelona maintained their five-point gap to Atletico Madrid at the top of the La Liga table with a 3-0 win against Eibar, while Real Madrid left it late to beat Real Betis 2-1 in Seville.
