Barcelona travels to the Basque country to face Real Sociedad in hopes to continue its recent butchering of teams in both Spain and Europe.
Hansi Flick's men have dominated since the start of the season but have turned it up a notch upon returning from October's international break. Barcelona has a perfect record since club action resumed, scoring 21 goals across five matches, playing some of the best soccer in Europe. The surge in form now has the Catalans nine points clear of Real Madrid in La Liga's title race, although Los Blancos have a game in hand.
Real Sociedad has the third best defensive record in La Liga this term, allowing just 10 goals through 12 games. However, Imanol Alguacil's side has struggled at home, and Barcelona will be keen on continuing its goalscoring frenzy in its last game before November's international break.
Flick's side could see a big change in the lineup. Pau Cubarsí suffered a gruesome face injury midweek against Crvena zvezda that required 10 stitches and will likely be given time to recover. He joins Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araújo on the list of injured Barça center-backs, so Flick will probably turn to another La Masia talent to fill the void in defense.
Here's how Barcelona could lineup against Real Sociedad.
