"Barça come into this one looking to restore a four-point lead at the top of the table after Real Madrid's win on Saturday, and a 10th consecutive victory in the league would be a new record under Hansi Flick while a 12th straight win in all competitions would get Barça one step closer to the all-time record of 18 established two decades ago."
"Flick promised a different Barcelona after the loss at Stamford Bridge and he has delivered on that promise, with a team that is better with and without the ball and looks a lot closer to the version that delighted fans all around the world last season. But one defeat will be enough to bring back all the questions from the professional overreactors, and a defeat cannot be ruled out when facing Real Sociedad at Anoeta."
Barcelona travel to Anoeta to play Real Sociedad on Sunday Night Fútbol, aiming to restore a four-point lead after Real Madrid's win. Barcelona can set a new Flick-era league record with a 10th consecutive league victory and reach a 12th straight win in all competitions, approaching the club's 18-match record. Flick's team has improved both in and out of possession since the Stamford Bridge loss. Real Sociedad present a dangerous home test at Anoeta where Barcelona have struggled previously. Gavi and Andreas Christensen are out; Raphinha is doubtful. Orri Oskarsson is out; Yangel Herrera is doubtful. Match officials are Jesús Gil Manzano and VAR Carlos Del Cerro Grande. Broadcasts include ESPN Deportes, Premier Sports 2, SuperSport, ESPN+, FanCode and DAZN.
