Match Facts:
Real Sociedad (5th, 22 pts)
- With four wins in as many games, La Real are enjoying their best spell of the season, both in terms of the football they are playing and their results.
- Willian Jose is the joint top scorer with Yannick Carrasco at their home ground in LaLiga this term (five goals apiece) and will be one to watch in this clash. - Real Sociedad are on form in front of goal at the moment. The Txuri-Urdines are the team with the best shot conversion rate in LaLiga this campaign (21.4%).
FC Barcelona (2nd, 26 pts)
- Barcelona have scored the most goals from set pieces in LaLiga this season (nine), with their free-kick maestro Lionel Messi leading the charge in one of his favourite departments. - The Azulgranas have not won any of their last six league games in San Sebastian (D1-L5). Their last victory there came in 2007 (2-0), meaning that they will be gunning to stop the rot.
- Messi was unable to play in the last league match against Malaga CF, and will return at Anoeta intent on inflating his goalscoring haul, which currently stands at eight for the season.
